Local Employment Partnerships (LEPs) aim to tackle the increasing recruitment and skills challenge of our labour market and economy
The partnerships are the result of a deal between Jobcentre Plus and employers supported by the Department of Work and Pensions, the Department of Innovation, Universities and Skills and the Learning and Skills Council.
Jobcentre Plus aims to give overlooked customers the opportunity to acquire the skills needed to get into work. It aims to help develop the skills to stay and further progress in work.
The Learning and Skills Council will provide pre-employment training when employers engage in Train to Gain or can demonstrate existing commitment to workforce development for those recruited through LEPs.
