Let's Talk Real Skills

Let’s Talk Real Skills is an ESF funded programme being delivered throughout West Yorkshire that aims to make significant improvements in skills provision through a strong collaborative approach with sectors and industry groups linked to Further Education and Higher Education. Under the programme, Calderdale College is proactively working with the Health and Social Care Sector to improve skills solutions to college learners and the existing workforce. We have a number of innovative pilot projects we are delivering, which range from employer driven enhancement our curriculum offer to delivering research projects that will help inform national skills solutions and workforce development opportunities.
Let’s Talk Real Skills will deliver a tailored, sector model for engagement. This model will include employers, industry bodies, colleges and universities working together to transform the skills system. Each collaborative skills partnership group will aim to create a system that works for employers by:
- Creating space for employers to work with their supply chains, business clusters and skills providers.
- Delivering a sector market for skills development where SME employers make a greater contribution for higher quality training.
