Plymouth is a city of opportunity, with strengths in marine, defence, advanced manufacturing, health and care, digital and creative industries. Significant investment, regeneration and major initiatives such as the Plymouth and South Devon Freeport and Plymouth Sound National Marine Park are creating new opportunities for business growth and high-value jobs across the city.
​
As the economy grows, employers across many sectors are facing challenges attracting, recruiting and retaining the skilled people they need. Demand remains particularly high in engineering, construction, health and social care, hospitality and tourism.
​
Through Skills 4 Plymouth, employers, education providers and partners are working together to strengthen the local talent pipeline, develop workforce skills and connect more people to opportunities. By investing in skills and supporting people from all backgrounds, including those facing barriers to employment, we can help businesses access the workforce they need while ensuring Plymouth's growth creates opportunities for everyone.
