Delivery of each Regional Action Plan is being overseen by an Implementation Committee, with membership drawn from industry, local authorities, Enterprise Agencies, education sector and other key stakeholders and agencies. Regional Implementation Committees meet approximately every six months to review and report on progress on the delivery of the actions in the Action Plan for Jobs for their respective region. Some of the Regional Committees have established smaller Sectoral Working Groups tasked with identifying and developing new actions to be added to the Action Plan as they emerge over the lifetime of the Plan.
Note:
At its meeting in September, 2016, the North East/North West Implementation Committee decided for practical reasons to divide the region into two formations– North East and North West – each with its own committee driving the actions. The North East and North West Committees held their first meeting under the new formations in January and February, 2017 respectively.
