The HEY Skills Network brings together key agencies, stakeholders and delivery partners to collaborate on the employment and skills agenda in the Hull and East Yorkshire area.
The Network is co-Chaired by David Gent, CEO of Active Humber and Lynette Leith, Vice Principal Curriculum and Skills at Hull College.
The Network provides a forum for agencies involved in all aspects of employment, skills and education in Hull and East Yorkshire to meet to share information and good practice.
In order for us to better understand members views and help us shape our future Skills Network meetings based around the topics and interests most important to members, we encourage stakeholders to provide their input via our combined Survey and Delegate Feedback Form.
