Employment and Skills Board (ESB)

Employment and Skills Boards are non-statutory voluntary partnerships between the public, private, educational and voluntary sectors to develop labour market priorities for increasing employment and skills levels across local areas throughout the UK. ESBs were first defined in the Leitch Review(2006)add quotation...

There were however a number of areas that established an ESB in advance of the published Leitch Review, with both Manchester and Greater Nottingham creating ESBs in 2004. The Manchester partnership has now folded in light of the Local Enterprise Partntership. The former Greater Nottingham ESB is now the longest running ESB of its kind in the UK having expanded to include all of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire from 2010 onwards- www.nccesb.org.uk.
