Black Country - Non-sport businesses |
Introduction
Thank you for taking the time to respond to this survey.
Black Country Consortium Ltd and the Black Country Local Enterprise Partnership recognise that understanding the demand for skills by employers and developing a fit for purpose Black Country workforce is fundamental to supporting business growth and developing the area’s economic prosperity.
In response to this and on behalf of both the Black Country BeActive Partnership & Black Country Local Enterprise Partnership, Black Country Consortium Limited have appointed Shared Intelligence and Essex Sports Enterprise to develop a sector skills action plan to support the enabling sector – Sport and Physical activity - identified in the Black Country Strategic Economic Plan.
This aims to determine the skill gaps and shortages across a range of sectors and the extent to which the desired non-technical skills could be developed through participation or leadership within sport and physical activity.
This survey is a key part of the consultation to develop the plan.
The survey is a chance to share your views. In particular we want to understand the challenges faced by different businesses in terms of recruitment and workforce development and the extent to which sport – either directly though sport qualifications, or indirectly as a result of other skills associated with sport involvement – can help. We would be very grateful if you can take the time to respond.
In addition to the survey we will be holding focus groups and interviews to better understand the needs of businesses. More information can be found at the end of the surveys.
We will also be speaking to education and skills training providers as part of this research.
This is a chance to have your say and influence what happens going forward.
If you have any questions about the survey or around the research more generally, please contact Ian Carey at the Black Country Consortium on ian_carey@blackcountryconsortium.co.uk
