Notice Title

Wigan Council - Adult Education Budget (AEB) - August 2017 to July 2018

Notice Description

The AEB aims to engage adults and provide the skills and learning they need to equip them for work, an apprenticeship or other learning. It enables more flexible tailored programmes of learning to be made available, which may not require a qualification. This will help those furthest from learning or the workplace. For learners with a legal entitlement, we think it right that government specify the qualification offer available. Eligible qualifications which can be delivered as part of the Level 2, Level 3 and English and maths provision, will fall under the Legal Entitlement allocation. We continue to expect providers to work with a range of local partners and stakeholders to ensure that the local learning offer meets local needs.
