How can we increase the quantity and quality of business investment in workplace training‪?‬ South Yorkshire PolicyPod

Developed by the three Chambers of Commerce for South Yorkshire (those being the ones for Sheffield, Barnsley & Rotherham, as well as Doncaster) this podcast series focusses on the most pressing issues of the day for local businesses. 

For this fourth episode — hosted by Andy Gates, Assistant Director of External Affairs at the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority — we take a deep dive into the topic of workplace training, and how we can unlock the latent potential of our region. 

Here, Andy is joined by experts Dan Fell, Chief Exec of Doncaster Chamber, and Naomi Clayton, Deputy Director at the Learning and Work Institute, for an in-depth conversation about skills. 

Covering everything from how we can better incentivise employers to invest in staff development, to how the South Yorkshire Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) aims to improve training provision in the region, the episode goes into plenty of detail on this vital subject. 

For those who are interested in the future of South Yorkshire and its talent, this is an absolute must-listen.
