Members of the North West Higher Level Skills Partnership (NW HLSP) joined a Blackpool MP at the Houses of Parliament.

Gordon Marsden, Labour MP for Blackpool South, and invited guests including Caroline Calverley, practice manager for Chafes Solicitors, celebrated the achievements of the partnership in London with guest speakers.

Caroline Calverley said: “It’s very exciting to see academia and employers united through this skills partnership, working together to develop our future workforce. It will be particularly important that we have highly skilled people to help drive this country out of the recession.”

The partnership is celebrating the development of skills courses involving employers to ensure the courses deliver the skills required.
