[Background] [Aims to] [Audience] [Agenda] [Event Information] [Application Conditions] [Application Form]
For many people, low skills continue to be a key barrier to gaining sustained employment. Improving the prospects of the most disadvantaged in society and enhancing their chances to progress and join the workforce requires partnerships at both a strategic and an operational level. The Department for Work and Pensions, JobcentrePlus and the Learning and Skills Council have worked together to develop joint commissioning plans. Partnerships between providers and employers will help to design services that support individuals and offer personalised training resulting in a more integrated employment and skills service. Implementing training for individuals to gain sustained employment will be a change of focus for a number of organisations. Some providers have traditionally been job rather than skills focused and others have experience of delivering courses that concentrate on learning and skills with qualifications. All providers need to integrate these two activities and target delivery so that the joint aims of skills development and sustainable work can be achieved.
