The aim of this programme is to offer tailored
support to help people in employment to engage with the skills
system, in order to gain qualifications, licences and / or skills.
Provision should respond to skills gaps highlighted in the Local
Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) and be flexible and responsive to
the needs and aspirations of participants.
Previously commissioned Greater Manchester programmes for
upskilling/reskilling employed individuals, such as GM Skills
Bootcamps and the ESF Skills For Growth Programme have made
significant progress against our priorities of responding to
employer need and providing opportunities for residents to
upskill/retrain into good jobs in growth industries. It is
envisaged that this programme will continue to provide
opportunities for employed residents to access fully funded
training in some of the regions key sectors.
