Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), working with Serco, The FTSE 250 company which provides public services, is seeking the views of Worcestershire employers to understand how they can be supported to develop the skills needed to adopt digital technologies.

The LEP is calling for contributions from Worcestershire business. It wants to hear from all companies and their organisation’s challenges around digital skills and to influence future training provision in Worcestershire that could benefit their organisation.

The LEP is keen to hear from employers of all sizes (including sole traders) and from all sectors. Please share what you think by completing a short survey (10-15 minutes) available at before the deadline of 3 April 2020.

A 50p donation for each completed survey response (for the first 100 responses) will be made to the Good Things Foundation (www.goodthingsfoundation.org registered charity number 1165209) which supports digitally and socially excluded people to improve their lives through digital. Those completing the survey can opt to receive a copy of the findings once published.
