About the LSEB

The London Skills and Employment Board is responsible for delivering a long-term strategy for adult skills and employment in London.  The Board provides leadership in improving adult skills and employment in London and is employer-led to ensure that its work is driven by the needs of employers and that skills provision meets the existing and future needs of the London’s economy.

In addition, it will seek to influence the spending and priorities of other key agencies such as Jobcentre Plus, London Development Agency and the Higher Education Funding Council in England.
