Project description
The project examines the growth of entrepreneurial opportunities and industry along particular growth corridors in South-Essex. A particular focus of this work is on the issue of skills mismatches within the sub-regional labour market and the implications of this for future industry development and patterns of inward investment. It is anticipated that the project will make a significant contribution towards the development of regional skills policies, and our understating of the dynamics and requirements of local business communities.
