Working in the Yorkshire and the Humber region

Julie Fisher is the Regional Development Manager for Yorkshire and the Humber. Operating in close partnership with Sport England, Julie is working with the Sector Skills Development Agency, the Learning and Skills Council, and County Sports Partnerships to engage with local employers and training providers.

A strong infrastructure is in place to enable partners at local and regional levels to contribute to the development of the workforce in the field of active leisure and learning, and SkillsActive will work within existing structures at regional and sub-regional levels, where possible, to avoid duplication and to work in partnership with all key stakeholders.
