LEPs: Assessing your economy as a platform for jobs and growth
Local Enterprise Partnerships need to undertake activity with the best possible evidence. Existing Local Economic Assessments need to be mined and utilised for the purpose of achieving growth and jobs targets. This event, part of the combined CLES, IPPR north and NLGN’s Enterprise Partnerships Forum, seeks to highlight, via presentations, case studies, and through practical tools, how good evidence is the backbone to making your LEP a success. The event will give you essential insight on the evidence platform to achieving jobs and growth
