The Learning and Skills Academy CIC was formed in 2019 to create a cultural shift in our society so that partner organisations, public sector stakeholders and employers understand and facilitate a more complete route to social cohesion, learning, personal development and employment. We enable those suffering disadvantage to access the support they need to improve their lives through education and employment opportunities, find ways to deliver meaningful change to our society and add more value to our communities. We endeavour to ensure that our ideas and service offerings are always aligned with the needs of those we will be working with.Our objectives continue to be:1 To identify, develop and successfully manage new and innovative ways to deliver sustainable social impact and change, thus lessening disadvantage and community dependency on short term funding streams2 To create a vehicle which will deliver apprenticeships, work experience programmes, vocational employment, pre-employment activities and many other socially motivated activities.3 To support disadvantaged groups within local community by providing them with access to a range of programmes4 To expand the model of commercially focused, sustainable enterprises into other geographic areas, this increasing overall impactOur offer during 2022/23 continues to include a range of employer engagement, support to both employed and unemployed, pre-employment, work based non-vocational and vocational training. As with previous years, this has been based on our experiences, learner feedback, interactions with stakeholders (local authorities, SEMLEP, Police, DWP etc.) & local economic and employer needs. We continue to engage with groups which face particular labour market disadvantage such as over 50’s, disabled, ex-offenders, carers, women and BAME to help them access relevant employment skills and be able to compete effectively in the labour market Although COVID restrictions were lifted in February 2022, we continued to be adversely affected by partners and delivery providers not being available to support programmes but were able to deliver some programmes to help people gain skills & employment. This financial year we have engaged with 27 employers, 11 stakeholders (mainly DWP/Job Centres, Local Authorities, Community Centres and FE Institutions) and through our digital first programme helped 21 people access training and social inclusion programmes. As part of our engagement within society, we know that local employer needs include pre-employment, basic construction skills and/or office skills so our offer (when possible) is reflected in a number of (online) pre-employment, entry to CSCS/health & safety, telemarketing, customer services, business & administration learning modules
Due to COVID only limited consultations took place during this financial year. The CICs stakeholders include local Job centres, Employers, Local Authorities, Police, the Local Enterprise Partnership and Training Providers, all of whom are regularly updated via meetings and/or emails and telephonecontact. We continued our discussions with local Job Centres, Probation Services, Local Authorities and Community Centres (both face to face where possible and online) to ensure a continuity of relationships
