Do you believe workplace wellbeing can ever be taken too far? Dr Helen Fitzhugh and Andrea James (University of East Anglia) asked this question of 25 managers from UK-based public, private and charitable organisations. This article offers a ‘sneak peek’ of early findings from this research study.
Local Skills Improvement Plan updates
The Norfolk and the Suffolk Chambers of Commerce are working with the Department for Education (DfE) to put employers at the heart of the skills agenda by preparing, developing and reviewing the Norfolk and Suffolk Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP.). To do this the chambers has brought together employers, training providers and further education colleges to discuss local skills issues and to work together to identify local skills solutions.
Key Sectors / Cross Cutting Themes:
We need to concentrate on key areas for Norfolk and Suffolk where we can make a significant impact quickly, so we are focusing on the following sectors:
-
Agri-Tech / Food Processing sector
-
Climate Adaptation / Net Zero
-
Workforce Digital Skills
-
Soft Skills
We have selected these sectors because they are important to both Norfolk and Suffolk and are sectors with rapidly changing skills needs that are at risk of been overlooked.

Local Skills Improvement Plan
Chambers meeting the skills needs of local employers
The report for the second phase of the Norfolk & Suffolk Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) has been formally approved by the Minister for Skills at the Department for Education.
Commenting on the report, the Skills Minister, The Rt Hon Baroness Smith of Malvern said:
“I welcome the publication of the Local Skills Improvement Plan Progress Report for Norfolk and Suffolk. These reports set out progress made on meeting the skills needs of local employers. As well as being a valuable source of information for local skills deliverers, employers and stakeholders, the reports along with the LSIPs themselves, will provide important intelligence for the newly established Skills England.”
The Norfolk and Suffolk LSIP outlines key skills required across our region’s vital sectors and offers a strategic roadmap to tackle skill shortages. As the Employer Representative Body (ERB), Norfolk Chambers, in partnership with Suffolk Chamber of Commerce, has successfully united employers, education and training providers, and local authorities to ensure that businesses are at the forefront of our regional skills agenda.
In Phase 1, the LSIP identified that the key priorities were:
- Skills provision mapping needed to be easy to navigate.
- There need to be a region-wide offer for Soft and Digital skills training.
- Private sector funding was needed for Net-Zero training.
- A common language was needed between providers and employers to address the perceived barriers.
Having identified the key challenges, in Phase 1 of the LSIP, this resulted in an invitation from the Department for Education (DfE), for our region’s colleges to bid for £4.7m via the Local Skills Improvement Fund (LSIF) to help address them. The bid was successful and a whole range of projects are now underway across Suffolk and Norfolk, addressing priorities outlined in the LSIP. This work is being led by Suffolk New College.
Commenting on the success of a fully approved Norfolk and Suffolk LSIP for Phase 2, Nova Fairbank, CEO of Norfolk Chambers and Chair of the LSIP Board said:
“Collaborating with local businesses and training providers is essential for truly understanding and meeting the skill demands of our region. The Norfolk and Suffolk LSIP has made significant progress this year, fostering relationships which support the development of training to meet the needs of employers. Norfolk Chambers has proudly led the work of the LSIP regionally and supported local businesses to position themselves for enhancing workforce development and remaining competitive.”
Also commenting on progress of the LSIP and the importance of ongoing employer engagement, John Dugmore, Chief Executive of Suffolk Chamber of Commerce and Vice Chair of the LSIP Board said:
“It is good to see the progress that the LSIP has made and in particular the catalytic impact of improved employer engagement. We look forward to Chambers of Commerce continuing to use their convening expertise to enable further improvement in local skills for Norfolk and Suffolk.”
Collectively, the Chambers have had a busy year since Phase 2 of the LSIP commenced in August 2023. Success has included:
A Signed MOU – between Norfolk and Suffolk Chambers of Commerce and the Norfolk and Suffolk County Council’s Skills Hub, who have jointly agreed a set of common goals and the process for collaboratively achieving them – something completely new and unique for Norfolk and Suffolk that will shape the local skills eco-system and provide a catalyst for change.
Training Provision has been Mapped – Initial mapping of training provision across Norfolk and Suffolk has been completed and an ongoing review is underway with Further Education, Higher Education and the independent training providers to ensure as much as possible is captured.
Delivery of a Programme Digital & Soft Skills Courses – Working with the providers, there is now consistent delivery of a programme of bite-sized courses in digital and soft skills across all five of the Norfolk and Suffolk colleges and via independent training providers with over 50 courses to choose from. LSIP employer feedback has also helped shape Skills Bootcamps.
Many independent training providers (ITPs) are involved with both the sector groups across the counties and the ongoing LSIP delivery – one of these ITPs is WS Training Ltd. Kirstie Wright, their Chief Executive commented on the ongoing importance of the LSIP findings, she said: “Being a local independent training provider, we want to support the growth and expansion of the LSIP priorities across Norfolk and Suffolk and we can clearly see that there are skills deficiencies in certain industry areas which need to be addressed. The LSIP really helped identify those gaps, it has provided evidence behind why investment in training in these crucial areas is so important, and from this perspective, it has been a pivotal report, in terms of supporting the development and growth initiatives for WS Training.”
Above all, both Chambers have been doing what they do best, engaging employers across Suffolk and Norfolk, from micro businesses to the large corporates, gathering case studies and feedback and embedding that employer voice across the whole skills landscape.
On employer engagement, the LSIP Engagement Manager, Dean Pierpoint said:
“As we present our yearly progress report, it’s clear that empowering our local businesses with the right skills is crucial for driving growth and innovation in Norfolk and Suffolk. By collaborating closely with employers, local training providers, and key stakeholders, the LSIP is a key part of bringing businesses and education closer together, targeting the specific needs of our workforce. This collaborative approach, which includes active involvement from FE and HE colleges and independent training providers, ensures employees gain valuable skills whilst strengthening our local businesses.”
So what’s next for the LSIP and Chambers of Commerce?
The LSIP will continue to be delivered by the Chambers of Commerce until mid-2025 and we are already looking at what comes next to build upon the success so far. There will be continued employer engagement across a wide range of sectors, not just the original priority areas.
The LSIP will highlight employer ‘skills champions’ – these will be the LSIP Keystone Employers and will be the vocal advocates for their particular sectors. Many of these have already been identified, but the LSIP is keen to engage as many employers as possible. For more information and to find out how to get involved click here.
Work on the four key priority areas will be ongoing, with more research and analysis of skills need to be undertaken, as will work with education providers on curriculum development. The LSIP will continue to advocate for policies to support the alignment of the local skills system with the ongoing needs of the employers.

Delivering on skills must be a priority
Responding to the latest labour market data published on 18th July by the ONS, Jane Gratton Deputy Director of Public Policy at the British Chambers of Commerce, said:
“The labour market is continuing to cool but high wage growth is still bearing down heavily on businesses. Our research shows labour costs are the main external pressure on firms forcing them to put up prices and hold back on investment.
“Our latest survey on recruitment, published earlier this week, shows firms across all industries are facing increased difficulties hiring staff. Better skills planning is crucial to tackling these problems, both for individual firms and the wider economy.
“It was encouraging to see a focus on skills in yesterday’s King’s Speech. Plans to create a national skills plan for England, to underpin an industrial strategy, are welcome. Meanwhile, reforming the apprenticeship levy is long overdue.
“Policymakers across the UK need to prioritise helping more people back into work and making sure they have the skills they need to thrive.”
Skills Bootcamps bridge existing skills gaps and address recruitment needs by providing flexible, intensive training programmes. The Bootcamps last from 60 hours to 16 weeks and are designed to fit around learners' commitments. They provide sector-specific skills at Levels 2-5 (GCSE to HND equivalent) to help individuals gain employment, get promoted, or take on more work if self-employed.
Suffolk and Norfolk County Councils have secured funding to support 600 learners through Skills Bootcamps to March 2025. For employers looking to upskills their current workforce, there is a 30% contribution. Small to medium sized businesses (SMEs) pay 10% (depending on the course a 10% contribution could be £150 to £350).
A wide range of Bootcamp courses are available including Agri-Horticulture skills, Sustainability skills, Digital skills, Construction skills, Teaching skills, Engineering skills, Project Management skills, Health & Social Care skills, Logistics skills and Leadership & Management skills.
For more details of all the courses click here or email SkillsBootCamp@suffolk.gov.uk
West Suffolk College are seeking businesses to support the sustainability skills bootcamps by sharing knowledge delivering specific masterclasses on topics which are directly relevant to sustainability within your organisation or sector.

Employers in Suffolk are being given the chance to develop new talent for their business whilst providing a potentially life-changing opportunity for an individual in Suffolk.
Suffolk County Council would like to engage Suffolk employers to develop their knowledge of, and consider offering, supported internship placements for those young people aged 16-24 with Special Educational Needs or/and Disabilities (SEND).
A supported internship is unpaid and there is no cost to the Employer. The young person is supported whilst in placement by a job coach with funding in place for this and any reasonable adjustments that may need to be made, prior to starting in the workplace.
Young people can develop in confidence, learn new skills, build their independence and progress towards paid employment.
At a time when vacancies can often be left unfilled, a supported internship offers a different way to recruit a diverse talent pool into your business. Amongst other benefits the internship can save an organisation time and money, provide extra team capacity at no cost and help you demonstrate social value, thereby attracting further talent and potentially even winning business.
Suffolk County Council hold regular SEND Employment Forums for its host employers and other employers interested in finding out more about inclusive employment. Please contact skills@suffolk.gov.uk for more details and to reserve your space.

The project called ‘Thrive’ is a partnership led by Suffolk New College which will provide targeted support and opportunities for NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) young people and economically inactive adults across Suffolk.
Suffolk New College will be joined by West Suffolk College, East Coast College, Inspire Suffolk, Lofty Heights, Anglia Care Trust and Access Community Trust.
This innovative programme has been funded by the district councils in Suffolk who have combined their grant allocations from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund to deliver this bespoke service.
The programme aims to deliver a high-quality support service that addresses the often complex needs of some of Suffolk’s residents.
Thrive will offer a highly localised and responsive approach, dedicated to helping individuals navigate their unique challenges and access the full spectrum of education, training, and employment opportunities available within the county.

West Suffolk College Soft Skills Programmes
Any time individuals interact with their coworkers, clients or customers, they can use soft skills to make their work easier or more efficient. Soft skills are critical for personal and professional success, they also facilitate growth and help individuals stay organised within their role.
Following on from West Suffolk College's short sessions designed via the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) the college has produced two programmes, one aimed at staff who are in the development stage of their careers, and the other for more experienced members of the organisation that either need to refresh or master their skillset.

British Chambers of Commerce supporting LSIP & Youth Skills
Local Skills Improvement Plans (LSIPs) across England “are working and beginning to make positive differences for local employers”, according to a new report commissioned by the British Chambers of Commerce. Based on evidence from 21 of the 32 chamber led LSIPs, the evaluation report concludes that the process is changing attitudes and encouraging more employers to collaborate and engage positively with the skills system.
A ‘stable and coherent’ skills strategy is needed to prepare young people for the world of work, according to first ever British Chambers of Commerce Youth Skills Manifesto. The report highlights the key skills employers look for in young people and how individuals will need to embrace new learning throughout their careers as the workplace becomes more technical, automated and low carbon focused. It examines the important role of technical education, notably T-Levels, Higher Technical Qualifications and Apprenticeships across England.
Flexible AI Upskilling Fund pilot: open for applications
The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) recently announced a £7.4 million pilot scheme to subsidise the cost of AI skills training for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Professional Business Services (PBS) sector. £6.4 million of grant funding is available.
Through this pilot programme, eligible business can apply for funding for up to 50% of the cost of AI skills training. This refers to training which supports employees to develop their technical skills and/or understanding of AI to be able to develop, deploy, or use AI in their role.
The flexible AI upskilling fund pilot aims to increase AI adoption and productivity by incentivising greater employer-led investment in skills and training. Evidence shows that a lack of AI skills in businesses is hindering AI adoption, in part due to low investment in AI upskilling in UK businesses, particularly in smaller companies.
Funding will be allocated through a competitive application exercise running until 31 May 2024. Depending on demand, a second competitive application exercise may be run later in the year.
Funding is for the procurement of AI skills training only, and not for the cost of:
- Purchasing AI technologies
- Business advice and consulting
- Recruitment activity
- Salaries, including work placement or internship salaries
- Capital expenditure

Levelling Up Skills in the East of England
Chambers East is supporting a call for Government action to level up skills in the East of England.
Chambers East worked with the East of England All Party Parliamentary Group, local authorities, FE colleges, universities and training providers to prepare a report that identifies barriers to improving skills in our region.
Some of the barriers identified include the loss of some of the apprenticeship training levy funds from the region; the Maths and English element of apprenticeship assessment leading to low completions; widespread teacher shortages and insufficient and inflexible funding.
Report recommendations include the reform of apprenticeship provision and the levy to allow greater flexibility; further devolution of all post 16 skills funding and incentivising companies to volunteer their staff to provide teaching support on apprenticeship courses in key sectors.
Charlotte Horobin, Chief Executive of Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce said ‘There is a lot of inflexibility in the way skills funding can be used and unfortunately this means that funding is not always available to meet the rapidly changing skills needs of employers.’
Denise Rossiter, Chief Executive of Essex Chambers of Commerce commented ‘A large number of nationally significant infrastructure projects are being planned for the East of England, including the Lower Thames Crossing and Sizewell C. These projects will increase the demand for skilled workforces. However, there is insufficient regional funding available to provide the training that is needed’.
Nova Fairbank, Chief Executive of Norfolk Chambers of Commerce said ‘Employers across the region are ready to release staff to support skills training, but it’s a big commitment and more needs to be done to help employers manage the impact of releasing key staff on a regular basis.’
John Dugmore, Chief Executive of Suffolk Chamber of Commerce commented ‘This report shows there are common skills issues across the East of England. By working together as Chambers East and in partnership with others, the region’s chambers of commerce can amplify the voice of East of England businesses in calling for action to address the issues that have been identified.

LSIP results in £4.75m LSIF cash boost
Suffolk and Norfolk education providers prepare to transform skills training in the region thanks to £4.75m cash boost
£4.75m Government funding has been confirmed for a major skills project across Norfolk and Suffolk funded by the Local Skills Improvement Fund (LSIF) from the Department for Education.
Led by Suffolk New College, the £4,75m cash boost will see the College team up with educational and industry partners to deliver successful outcomes on a number of projects. City College Norwich, the College of West Anglia, East Coast College and West Suffolk College, together with East Norfolk Sixth Form College and the University of Suffolk are all collaborating with Suffolk New College on the project, aiming to transform training opportunities across the region.
The Norfolk and Suffolk Chambers of Commerce teams are key stakeholders, ensuring the objectives of the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) for Norfolk and Suffolk are met, with the local workforce getting the right skills and training to help businesses thrive.
Local independent training providers will also have the opportunity to get involved in delivering a joint training programme across the region.
Running until March 2025, the funding will see investment in equipment, events, teaching and training, enrichment activities for students, employer engagement and new facilities. Thousands of students and hundreds of businesses will benefit from the investment.
Green skills and digital skills are key themes of the project, which will also include a ‘Digital Futures Conference’ on 13th March 2024 at The Hold in Ipswich with all partners taking part.
Alan Pease is the CEO and Principal of Suffolk New College. He said: “This is tremendous news. This is all about us working together with other educational providers to collectively improve our skills provision and make it even more relevant to the needs of the economy and local businesses.
“We may be named as the leader of the project but for us it’s all about collaboration and working together with our partners and other providers.
“Our commitment to bring education and industry closer together for the long-term benefit of our communities can only be enhanced by this news.”
John Dugmore, chief executive of the Suffolk Chamber of Commerce: He said: “This is good news for Suffolk and Norfolk: for our businesses, our current and future workforce and, therefore, for the sustainable prosperity of our region. m/f
“There is a clear line of sight operating with this announcement: the business-led Local Skills Improvement Plan, jointly run by Suffolk and Norfolk Chambers, outlined the skills priority needs of our SMEs – digital, soft or employability skills and those relating to the energy and agri-food sectors. The LSIF being delivered by and through Suffolk New College will now help to deliver the skills development changes required to address them.
“Suffolk Chamber, its members and the county’s wider business community stand ready to work with East Coast College, West Suffolk College as well as Suffolk New College to ensure that Suffolk has the right skills at the right time to deliver the right kind of economy.”
Nova Fairbank, Chief Executive of Norfolk Chambers of Commerce: She said: “Norfolk Chambers of Commerce, together with Suffolk Chamber of Commerce, lead on the Norfolk & Suffolk LSIP. We are delighted that our region has been successful in securing £4.75m of funding to enable greater collaborations of FE colleges and training providers to meet the employer skills needs outlined in our Local Skills Improvement Plan, published in August this year.
“Suffolk New College has delivered a winning bid for the LSIF to deliver investment in new facilities and equipment; the development and delivery of new courses and curriculum; and the creation of a more sustainable approach to addressing local skill needs across Norfolk and Suffolk.
“We look forward to the ongoing collaboration with all the colleges and providers and to continuing our mutual journey to bring business and education closer together.”
Education Secretary, Gillian Keegan said: “This investment is about boosting local industries, building people’s skills and ultimately futureproofing our economy and the career prospects of the next generation.
“Our local skills projects will bring together regional organisations, businesses and education providers to respond to the specific needs of employers, building an increasingly skilled workforce and growing local economies.
“Whether it is green skills, construction, engineering or digital, thousands more people can now gain the skills they need to secure good jobs closer to home. These are long-term plans that will ensure every area can have a brighter future.”
Norfolk and Suffolk LSIP report approved
The Norfolk & Suffolk LSIP Report has now been approved by the DfE. The skills solutions outlined in the report are reflective of employer needs through a range of projects which will encourage greater collaboration with training providers. We will now start to put the plan into action and continue to engage with businesses and offer support and guidance on the current skills provision available. We welcome any new initiatives/provision that are seen to support the future skills support for business growth.
