The Local Government Association has announced that it has launched new proposals to localise employment and skills services. Analysis from the LGA has found that £20 billion is spent on 49 employment and skills programmes around the country, with this often resulting in disconnected and ineffective support for users and leaving employers confused. Through the new proposals, the LGA has outlined three new interlinked offers that would replace the current system and improve outcomes for everyone involved.
The three offers are:
- Youth Pathways
- Working Futures
- Skills for All
