Description

The council wishes to invite applications for funding for the Adult Skills Programme 2024 / 2025.
The Adult Skills Programme must meet the needs of the diverse population of the area and tackle some of the challenges Sandwell faces whilst recovering from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, in particular in increasing employability, up-skilling and employment support targeted at communities in greatest need. Wider adult learning have a vital role to play in promoting inclusion, improving health outcomes, in engaging and building capacity in local communities, and supporting and building stronger families.
We expect activities to be in response to local needs and to deliver community-based learning activities. We expect to commission a range of providers to access different groups of learners in different areas of Sandwell who can produce high levels of positive progressions into further learning and /or employment.
