Co-Design and Co-Investment Research Phase 2

In 2025, the GLA commissioned research to explore effective models of co-design and co-investment in adult skills provision. The research examined examples of best practice and identified lessons to support stronger partnerships between industry, skills providers and local government. The work culminated in a report setting out key findings and recommendations.

To maximise the value and impact of this research prior to publication, the GLA identified a requirement for a second phase of work. This phase will test the findings and recommendations with industry stakeholders, including the Sector Talent Boards (STBs) and other key partners, to understand how the interim STB model is operating in practice and how the recommendations can be effectively applied.
