The Council of the Borough of Kirklees (the "Council") wishes to establish a programme of services with a maximum of ten (10) suitable Delivery Partners for Adult Learning in Kirklees. Adult Learning is designed to help adults of different ages and backgrounds and will continue to focus on turning around the lives of local people and maximising the effect this funding has on the social and economic well-being of individuals, families and communities. As such, provision should focus on key groups of residents in the most deprived wards of Kirklees, particularly those residents facing barriers to learning and in need of support to improve their lives, their families and their communities. This includes those residents below level 2 in English and maths, low waged and unemployed and learners with health and social issues, including psychical and mental health challenges. We are seeking to support projects and ways of working that can complement our long-term ambition for the district and will increase and diversify the number and type of adult learners in Kirklees, identifying and engaging underrepresented groups and providing them with their 'first-step' into learning. Community-based learning should take place in non-pressurised learning contexts where people understand learners' needs and treat learners equally, thereby increasing their confidence and self-esteem.
Digital support for the Neurodiverse - Employees and EmployersThe vision for the Digital Employment Kirklees (Neurodiverse - Employees and Employers) programme is to offer a holistic support programme that utilises digital and assistive technology, creating digital resources that can be shared to explore neurodiversity, how to support & manage neurodivergent colleagues, and how to create an inclusive work environment. The creation of a bank of digital resources, this could include use of wider digital media including websites, posts that can be shared via social media and podcast activity. Employees:- a) How technology can remove barriers to work for neurodivergent people by increasing the accessibility of their working environments and its tools helping them to moderate the pace and structure of activities. b) Identification of digital tools and resources designed to support neurodiverse individuals enabling better job security/sustainability c) Develop resources on digital applications that support a new way of engaging and supporting individuals with Neurodiverse conditions. Employers:- d) supporting employers to be inclusive, including understanding neurodiversity from the perspective of the employer e) how to support with reasonable adjustment f) support for Line Mangers/Supervisors on manging people with Neurodiverse conditions. g) Focus on retaining neurodivergent employees by providing ongoing support, mentorship, and career development opportunities.

Utilising the community strand, we want to engage all age groups or expand this sector to as many people as possible. We want to:- * Raise awareness, by generating interest in a sector that participants might not have previously considered. * Enable a'ccess to provision to develop sector specific skills and experience that could lead to work , volunteering or further learning opportunities. E.g., This could be in the form of workshops or a short course-based activity. * Provide access to information advice and guidance on self-employment, setting up their own business. We especially want to see participation from our poorest areas (as defined by the Index of Multiple deprivation (IMD)) and with communities were unequal access to the creative arts sector remains a barrier.
