The task groups allow everyone to collaborate on the planning of future skills and employment strategies for East Sussex. This ensures that local needs for each sector are being prioritised.
Each group has objectives related to:
- improving careers related learning and labour market information in schools

- growing apprenticeships and higher-level learning
- supporting their sector's professional development of skills for teachers and lecturers
The task groups are coordinated by the Skills East Sussex Secretariat. Most of the groups meet 4 times a year. Meetings are a mix of online and in-person.
