Great to see focus and investment in adult skills after a decade of decline in investment and participation. Addressing cost barriers and improving flexibility will make upskilling and retraining much more accessible, affordable and attractive for those who need it. https://twitter.com/FEWeek/status/1310693518436950017">https://twitter.com/FEWeek/st...
Need to get moving on this quickly. 3.4m already out of work and unemployment set to rise rapidly as furlough unwinds. Investment in upskilling and retraining was a missed opportunity for the furlough scheme; we shouldn’t miss it again as the job support scheme gets put in place.
Our recent report with @reformthinktank set out our ideas for a comprehensive package to support workers who need to retrain and change careers. This L3 entitlement plays an important part, but should just be the first step https://learningandwork.org.uk/resources/research-and-reports/when-furlough-has-to-stop-next-steps-to-avert-long-term-unemployment/">https://learningandwork.org.uk/resources...
