Adult Advancement and Careers Service

John Denham

A radical new adult advancement and careers service will combine skills and training advice with practical guidance for people on how to overcome the barriers they face in getting on in life, Skills Secretary John Denham set out in a speech today.

Mr Denham said: "Everyone deserves the best chance to get on in work and in life - but that means overcoming the barriers in their way.

"Those barriers are different for everyone - whether finding suitable childcare, understanding employment rights, resolving problems with housing or transport."

Publishing a prospectus setting out how the new service will develop, Mr Denham announced the names and locations of ten prototype advancement partnerships across England whose work will inform the launch of the aacs in 2010.
