Lot Information
Vocational Training and Work Related Skills
The focus of this Lot will be to improve the core, functional and vocational skills of individuals seeking to enter employment. The activities within this lot will enable a structured approach to work experience enabling individuals to gain employability competencies and where relevant occupationally focused certification. This Lot covers the spectrum of activities at Stage 3 and 4 of the Employability Pipeline and will enable a tailored pathway to local labour market opportunities. It is anticipated that the provision in this Lot will enable supported and sheltered work experience and where possible industry recognised certification, pre apprenticeship programmes and a structured transitional pathway to sustainable employment. Job Search skills and agreed elements of employer engagement, job brokerage may also be relevant within this Lot
Engagement and Barrier RemovalThe framework recognises the need to better support disadvantaged groups to move towards and into employment. This has to start with greater focus on early engagement, assessment of support needs and effective action planning to more effectively tackle barriers that are preventing individuals from participating in the labour market. Working in partnership we are seeking a range of diverse interventions to effectively engage with those furthest from the labour market, supporting individuals with multiple and often complex support needs. Services being procured will include motivation, confidence, personal development, one to one support, mentoring, group work, core skills, health, wellbeing and financial support interventions. It is envisaged that some structured, accredited and project based activities will also be required. This Lot covers the spectrum of activities at Stage 1 and 2 of the Employability Pipeline
In Work Support and Work Based QualificationsThis Lot reflects the increased need for in-work support to help enable previously unemployed people to sustain and progress in employment once the initial transition has been made. It is also important to recognise that many individuals will enter this activity at Stage 5 of the Employability Pipeline having progressed from previous activities delivered at Lots 1 and 2 of the framework. This lot includes the delivery of Vocational Qualifications, Modern Apprenticeships and other industry recognised training. The provision of employer support, job carving, job coaching, health and safety, risk assessments, after care and other related assistance may also form part of the in work support package to ensure the sustainability of progressions into employment.
