The Strategy
(i) Improve the competitiveness of the Warwickshire Economy
(ii) Provide clear leadership and influence
(iii) Reduce social exclusion and embed sustainable regeneration. | |
We have identified three key strategic objectives which will help us meet our aims:
i) Improve the competitiveness of the Warwickshire economy :
The local economy will only thrive if local businesses are competitive. To support this we will:
- collaborate with partners to establish an employment and skills strategy for the county
- attract and support an increase in the proportion of businesses in knowledge driven employment sectors
|
- encourage and support the development of new products, processes and technology amongst businesseswith a special focus on environmental technology, performance engineering and medical technology
| |
- support and encourage enterprise and entrepreneurism amongst the young, women, BME communities and the business community at large to secure increased business start-up and long term sustainability
|
- work with partners to ensure the workforce has the skills, competencies and qualifications to meet changing demands of a growing and competitive economy, and support employers to adopt good work practice in securing, developing and retaining their workforce

- provide premises to overcome market failure and thereby ensure business start-up and growth can be accommodated, particularly in areas of limited local job opportunities
|
