To consider a report of the Cabinet Member for Children, Families & Education.

This Skills Plan is vital to achieving our One Stockport Ambitions, it sets out our overarching vision, ambition and priorities for our skills system for the next three years. It is a partnership plan with a shared borough-wide vision and shared ambitions which can only be achieved through harnessing the skills, knowledge and shared resources across services in the public, private and third sector.

The Cabinet is recommended to endorse the plan and agree that:

(1) A detailed annual delivery plan is produced that sets targets, actions and milestones for delivery of the plan.

(2) An index of the indicators identified in this plan to track progress and act accordingly is produced.

(3) Officers maintain a productive partnership of stakeholders.

(4) Officers working to align the Skills Plan priorities to any emerging funding opportunities created by central government and other funding agencies.
