Skills into Employment Programmes
This guide outlines our new range of Skills into Employment
Programmes which are primarily aimed at adults aged over 19
who have been unemployed for 6 months or more. However
these programmes could also be accessed by adults unemployed
for less than 6 months at the discretion of Jobcentre Plus.
Referrals to all these programmes will come through Jobcentre
Plus or other agencies work with unemployed adults.
The programmes are designed for people close to entering the
labour market and include short intensive training in work skills,
for people wanting to re-enter the workforce quickly. In addition,
there are also programmes which provide a clear pathway into a
specifi c occupational sector or job role. Literacy and Numeracy
provision can also be delivered for these individuals, if required.
As part of Pearson we are able to off er our learners access to
quality materials, technologies and knowledge to support their
learning and training. The delivery of our Skills into Employment
Programmes is fully funded through the Skills Funding Agency’s
Adult Skills Budget.
We are also interested in establishing additional provision, such
as sector-based work academies or programmes in diff erent
sectors and districts dependent on local labour market needs.
We would be keen to discuss these proposals with Jobcentre
Plus Districts.
