Compulsory training and an overhauled training system to help people get into and on at work
Benefit claimants who need to improve their skills in order to get a job will have to attend compulsory training, under new proposals announced by James Purnell and John Denham. The move will be backed by improvements to the training system that will give adults access to a new 'skills account' to fund vocational courses.
The plans are published in a Government welfare and skills paper Work Skills.
