Benefits - A higher profile for LSC with influence in Community and Local Neighbourhood Renewal Strategies and greater coherence in inter-agency planning.
Facilitating attainment of LSC priorities including rolling out joint employment and skills planning arrangements with local partners, maximising linkages with regeneration opportunities, and skills development in the public sector
Greater awareness of learning and skills programmes and provision amongst local partners, leading to greater take-up of learning opportunities by learners and employers, and improving reach amongst disengaged or excluded individuals
Constraints - Local LSCs have little discretionary funding, other than ESF co-financing and Local Innovation and Development Funds. Locally, their main discretion is over the courses they fund and with which providers they contract. They are also concerned with the delivery of national programmes, notably Apprenticeships.
