Notice Title

Invitation To Tender (ITT) for Four Research Projects into the SME Engagement with the Skills Services Within Cornwall

Notice Description

CIoS Skills Hub project includes an Innovation Fund which aims to address issues faced by SME's, help remove barriers to accessing skills and encourage employers, sector groups and training providers to carry out research and activities to seek solutions, increasing participation and developing skills within sectors with growth potential. The fund links with the CIoS Skills and Labour Market Strategy 2030 , published by the LEP and Employment and Skills Board (ESB) and responds specifically to the following Actions: Transform: A Productive Workforce Action 2: Learning provision meets the sector-specific requirement of employers through a more collaborative and employer-led approach which aligns learning and training with employer demand, providing learners with clear progression pathways to higher level creative and technical skills; Action 3: Step change in access to digital infrastructure, digital usage and digital skills across the area, supporting sectors, businesses and people to make the transition to a digital world and Action 4: Develop the leadership and high-level skills needed to drive growth, innovation and productivity. Additionally, CIoS has a high proportion of small and micro businesses and the highest proportion of self-employed business owners of all the LEP areas. These businesses tend to be the ones that need the most help but are often the least able to engage as time away from the business has cost implications On behalf of CIoS Skills Hub, Cornwall Council wishes to invite tenders for 4 individual projects that provide an innovative approach to employer-led skills development and enabling skills to be more accessible for SMEs in CIoS. The outcome of these research projects will be solutions which can be disseminated to stakeholders, partners, and training providers to increase the participation and awareness of SMEs in skills activity.
