Investment and Regulation Board

Employment and Skills Board

The Employment and Skills Board leads our work on one of our three key ambitions: to have a skilled and productive workforce that meets the needs of business. The board developed and oversees the implementation of the Humber Employment and Skills Strategy, supported by a number of networks and working groups.

Sector Boards

To support the development of our Local Industrial Strategy, have established four new private-sector led advisory boards.
These boards will help provide, contribute and scrutinise the evidence for each sector to ensure that it truly reflects the situation in the Humber. They will also identify future opportunities, barriers and challenges for the sector.
These boards will work to identify policy issues that may be holding back the sector, as well as identifying priority actions that will create productive sectors and form part of the key evidence in the industrial strategy, including setting out what investments will be made by local partners
Finally, the boards will identify what ‘freedoms and flexibilities’ may be needed from the government to help grow the sectors.
