SWRESB Introduction

The South West Employment and Skills Partnership (SWRESB - formerly Enterprise and Skills Alliance SWESA) is the key regional decision making body for skills in the south west, offering leadership and strategic direction for all activity. It is made up of senior level staff able to influence their organisations and with command of resources.

The SWRESB builds on the objectives established in the SW FRESA linking these to four priorities of:

Management and Leadership
Enterprise Skills
Innovation & Creativity
Level 3 & Higher Level Skills

Sub-priorities include:

NEETS
Migrant Workers
IAG

Partners will work to fulfil regional targets as agreed through the SWESA.

The SWRESB will act as a strategic catalyst and a 'voice for the region' in strategic dialogue with government. It will also influence activity and allocation of resources by partner and the principal skills funding organisations in the region.

SLIM works closely with the SW ESP and is responsible for producing the evidence to underpin the development of strategic priorities by the partnership.
