two.1.4) Short description
Skills for Life and Work professional and technical skills training provision will be offered to young people aged 16-17 (under 22 years for those with a disability and under 24 years for those from an in-care background) who normally will not possess a full level 1 qualification (defined as 4 GCSEs at grades D-G) and who have not yet gained full-time employment. Existing Training for Success contracts will expire on 31 July 2021 and an interim programme option (Skills for Life and Work) is therefore required to ensure continuity of training provision and to meet ongoing need of Entry Level/Level 1 skills provision amongst this cohort of young people. The overarching aim of this project is to ensure that a network of quality providers eligible to deliver Skills for Life and Work is in place from September 2021. It is anticipated that the Programme will be delivered by a mix of training organisations drawn from the non-statutory sector and FE statutory sector.
