IRES 2027+ Pledge Continues to Build Strong Regional Momentum
Created: 11/05/2026
News/Events Category: Employability
Support for the IRES 2027+ pledge is continuing to grow across Edinburgh and South East Scotland, with an increasing number of businesses, industry partners, public sector bodies and third sector organisations already committing their support.
This growing momentum reflects a shared ambition to strengthen regional skills development and deliver a more coordinated, future-focused approach to workforce planning through the IRES 2027+ programme.
The IRES Programme Management Office has welcomed the strong cross-sector response, noting that early pledges are helping to demonstrate the scale of commitment to long-term regional economic growth and skills development.
Organisations that have already signed are contributing testimonials and statements of support, which will be shared through IRES communications channels, including LinkedIn, to highlight the breadth of engagement across sectors.
There is still an opportunity for organisations across the region to get involved and add their voice to the growing list of supporters. Signing the pledge is a simple way to demonstrate commitment to collaboration, skills development, and inclusive regional growth.
Partners are encouraged to sign and share the pledge through their networks to help strengthen collective impact and ensure the region continues to build a skills system fit for the future.
