Skilling London Series: Making sense of the Government's Plan for Jobs

With the pandemic wreaking havoc on business workforce strategies and a labour market seeing record level job vacancies and skills shortages, the Government’s Plan for Jobs – a range of programmes and incentives designed to help business train up and recruit – aims to help. Except the offer can be hard to navigate – often, its not clear how to transfer unused apprenticeship levy money, what skills bootcamps are, and what the difference is between Kickstart and Restart.

Through this roundtable with the Department for Education, we aim to answer these and other questions, explain how these programmes work together and how they could benefit employers.
