North West Capital Plan

Each year the LSC sets out its national goals in a statement of priorities, followed by the production of regional plans that set out how the LSC will work with partners and providers in the region to deliver those goals.

Capital investment underpins the delivery of these plans. Through effective use of capital, we are able to work with partners to improve the quality, accessibility and appropriateness of learning. We can also use capital investment to target learning on specific groups of people, such as workless people, those with no/low skills and people aiming to upskill or re-skill.

In making these investments we aim to align our spending with that of key partners, especially those with whom we share common goals, such as 14-19 partnerships, Local Area and Multi-Area Agreements, employers and partners addressing the worklessness agenda. Often investment in a college acts as a catalyst for other economic development activities, or adds value to local regeneration.
