Supporting Language, Literacy And Numeracy Needs Within Integrated Employment And Skills Programmes

This event is being held at Maple House, 150 Corporation Street, Birmingham B4 6TB on 9 Mar 2010. For many people, low skills continue to be a key barrier to both gaining and sustaining 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, Jobcentre Plus 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.
This event aims to help you develop a broad understanding of Integrated Employment and Skills – what it means for our regions and for our learners. The event will give you the opportunity to hear from policy makers, commissioners and providers on the development of Integrated Employment and Skills activities and services and to work collaboratively with the sector to enable them to identify and address the language, literacy and numeracy skills needs of their learners.
