Purpose:

This work will be funded through Skills Underspends agreed by GMCA in October 2018, and allocated to develop activity that supports under-represented groups to access apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeship activity leading to improved social mobility for the individual.

Decision:

3 grants of £25k are paid to LA’s to develop Supported Apprenticeship Programmes.
GMCA, through the Education, Work and Skills Directorate, would like to build on a successful Removing Barriers to Apprenticeships project in Salford that created 15 Supported Apprenticeships for people with SEND / EHCP’s.
LA’s will be invited to submit an EOI, the the 3 that most closely meet the criteria will be allocated funding.
Additional funding is being sought for the remaining LA’s.
