[Background & Aims] [Audience] [Programme]
Background & Aims
The ageing of the British population has implications for the nature of the workforce, access to labour market opportunities and the need for training, advice and guidance. Many people want or need to work on longer and the Government is keen to encourage this. The Age Discrimination Regulations recently came into force, the future of adult guidance services is currently under review and Government policy on skills, education and training is evolving in response to changing economic needs.
This seminar series is aimed primarily at people who deliver or manage IAG for adults.
It will inform participants about:
 | demographic change and its implications |
| the Age Discrimination Regulations |
| the Leitch Review of Skills with its proposals for an Adult Careers Service |
It will also provide an opportunity for practitioners to:
| share experience of working with age diverse client groups |
| provide feedback to the LSC and other national bodies about how services might best meet the needs of particular age groups. |
Speakers from the Learning and Skills Council (LSC), TAEN - The Age and Employment Network and NIACE’s Centre for Research into the Older Workforce (CROW) will explain changes and issues for the future.
