Jayne Adamson, the Executive Director of People at the Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership, has been appointed as the first chair of the recently formed Hull and East Yorkshire Skills Board.
She will act as a figurehead for the Board, which is supporting the development of a regional skills system for the new Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority.
Jayne has held leading positions in the health sector for the last 17 years, and previously worked for companies such as Smith+Nephew and Ideal Standard.
Jayne said: “It is an incredible privilege to be appointed as chair of the HEY Skills Board.
“I am excited to work alongside such a dedicated group of people to foster growth, development and opportunities within our community.
“I believe that by leveraging our collective expertise and passion, we can create a brighter future for all.
“I look forward to collaborating with local businesses, educational institutions and other stakeholders to create a robust ecosystem of support and opportunity.
“By working together, we can empower individuals to reach their full potential and contribute to the prosperity of our community.”
The Skills Board is providing an opportunity for the business sector to advise on what areas need addressing in the skills agenda, allowing employers and providers to work to create innovative solutions to supply and demand challenges.
It is one of two recently formed strategic groups providing support to the new governance structures of the Hull and East Yorkshire region, alongside a Business Board.
Voters will go to the polls on Thursday 1 May to decide who should be the mayor of the new Combined Authority, with mayoral elections taking place every four years.
The Combined Authority does not replace either Hull City Council or East Riding of Yorkshire Council, which will both continue their work as separate councils as normal.
