AELP support Functional Skills
The national AELP conference is
underway with lots of discussion on funding, employer led training demand and the
integration of Government initiatives.
One of the more interesting comments
came from Ingeus who were referring to their skills data and the claim that a
person with good English, maths and ICT skills is THREE times more likely to
re-enter the labour market - we're surprised it's just 3x!
In
relation to maths and English, the AELP manifesto for 2015 recognises
the absolute importance of having good English and maths skills but questions
whether GCSE is the best route to show this. AELP will therefore continue
to lobby for the retention of Functional Skills until the new (2017) GCSEs are
proven to provide the Functional Skills required and to be delivered flexibly
and on demand.
