Local skills plan 2025 to 2028

The vision of this sector local skills plan is:

A high-quality, fit-for-purpose local sport and physical activity workforce which helps Cheshire and Warrington to thrive.

The Cheshire and Warrington Sport and Physical Activity Local Skills Plan will empower the sector to tell a new story. Successful delivery of the plan will result in a greater awareness and understanding of what a career in sport and physical activity can be, both in terms of the range of opportunities available and the skills required to be successful in a chosen field.

The plan will also support the development of clear pathways into and upwards within the sector locally. These pathways will be free of the barriers which currently make the sector less accessible or inclusive for certain under-represented groups.

As a result, an expert and more diverse local workforce will unleash the capacity of sport and physical activity to reduce health inequalities and economic inactivity across Cheshire and Warrington through improving the physical and mental health of those living and working in the area.
