  10. REGIONAL MECHANISMS • Response to 2005 White Paper identifies RSP mechanism • SSCs are clear of the need to regionalise, combining regional and national routes whilst maintaining consistency where appropriate for employers • Understanding from the Pathfinder experience what works • SSAs provide the evidence and commitment from employers to inform RSP priorities

  11. THE BENEFIT SSAs provide the mechanism to match demand and supply and in the process change the behaviours of employers, funders and providers alike
