Surrey Chambers of Commerce has launched the new Surrey LSIP 2026-2029 in partnership with Surrey County Council. The employer-led strategy identifies six priority areas critical to Surrey's future workforce needs: manufacturing and engineering, construction and the green economy, health and social care, digital technologies, employability skills, and employer engagement.

The plan responds to key challenges including skills shortages, recruitment difficulties, workforce retention and the growing impact of technology. Delivery initiatives over the next three years will include programmes to encourage more women into engineering, strengthen construction skills pipelines, support health and social care leadership, improve digital capability and enhance employability skills.

Businesses are encouraged to get involved by sharing insights and helping shape future skills provision.
