Presented by: Councillor Oscar Ford, Cabinet Member for Children & Young People
Summary:
The proposed Education & Employment Skills Strategy outlines the context of line-of-sight challenge for young people and residents to opportunities to upskill, enter the workforce, and the proposed strategic approach to supporting the residents of the Borough.
Currently, all of the proposed activity is covered by the existing provision of secured external grants covering Adult Education, Connect to Work and Trailblazer programmes, for example, rather than core Council budgets. These funds have been secured for the duration of this iteration of the Strategy.
This report presented to Cabinet for adoption the draft Education & Employment Skills Strategy.
