Four pitches on how to improve adult education now at @CentreProPolicy #IGConf201
First @john_cope @CBItweets suggesting we need to stop 'frontloading' and focus on:
1. Remove stigma of job centres > introduce skillcentre plus
2. Introduce Skills Savings Accounts to upgrade skills and topped up by employers
#IGConf2019
Second @FionaAldridge from @LearnWorkUK suggesting we need to:
1. Address the practical barriers to training in terms of time & costs by improving flexibility
2. Game up outreach activities to show individuals how training is relevant to them
#IGConf2019
Then @LordKirsti @AoC_info suggesting that:
1. We need to be careful with devo of Adult Education Budget to avoid a postcode lottery - who supports those not in combined authorities?
2. Need more flexibility locally
3. Need to look into maintenance grants
#IGConf2019
And lastly @rowantuc from @The_TUC pitching for:
1. Better employment system with a right to time off for training
2. Devo of skills system and infrastructure to make training relevant locally
3. But national individual learners accounts to avoid postcode lottery
