Ambition 1: To Grow the Economy

The Vision for Kent’s ‘To Grow the Economy’ Ambition is:

Kent will be known as a place where business is thriving, bringing money into the county and providing jobs. To achieve this, we need to make sure that the conditions are right for businesses to set up and grow. Kent’s businesses need employees who are confident learners, able to acquire new skills and adapt quickly. Kent will be a place where the business and education sectors provide continual learning opportunities for everyone of working age. Kent’s excellent infrastructure, attractive environment and gateway location will support Kent’s existing business to grow and encourage new business to locate here. This will provide more jobs to fill the gaps left by the declining public sector. Through the success of Kent’s businesses, employees will be rewarded with good pay, which will help them lead a high quality of life for themselves and their families.
