    "description": "The West Midlands is proud to have been accredited as one of two national pilot Destination Development Partnerships (DDP).  This enables two or more Local Visitor Economy Partnerships to work together to offer regional and locally appropriate solutions to national and regional policy and industry priorities.\nOur West Midlands DDP workplan includes support for Visitor Economy skills development. In order to achieve this, we need to identify the range of skills that are required by the industry and the gaps in the region\u0027s talent.\n\u2022\tThis supports the West Midlands\u0027 Mayoral regional strategy of \u0027jobs for everyone\u0027\n\u2022\tIt is a key part of rebuilding the region\u0027s visitor economy resilience, having lost talent through COVID furloughs and redundancies.\n\u2022\tWe need the best talent pool through current economic instability\nWe require a supplier to assess, through primary and secondary research, the skills requirements and gaps in the visitor economy sector in the West Midlands. We not only want to understand the demand-side better i.e. to identify the skills that employers need from current or future employees, which are currently missing, but also the supply-side barriers - so what employers need to improve in their offer to ensure that disabled workers, or those returning to work after a break are facilitated into the jobs that need to be filled in the visitor economy sector.",
