Key points include: 1) Devolving the Work Programme and Apprenticeship Grants to allow Greater Manchester more control over skills training and employment support for residents. 2) Restructuring further education by 2017 to better meet the needs of local employers and growth sectors through more integrated, employer-led training. 3) Exploring ways to use devolved funding flexibly to improve skills levels and career progression for low-income workers, stimulate apprenticeships, and better match training opportunities with demand for higher-level skills.

More than half of all apprenticeship starts in 2014/15 were in business, administration, and health and social care. There were nearly 500,000 apprenticeship starts that year, an increase of 14% from the previous year. The government aims to reach 3 million apprenticeship starts by 2020 to boost skills and productivity. Employers will have more control over apprenticeship content and funding under new proposed reforms, with funding going directly to employers who will choose providers. Simplifying standards and improving quality are priorities to increase the esteem of apprenticeships.

Inflation is negatively impacting employment support organizations in several ways: 1) It is increasing their operational costs through higher energy bills, staff salaries, and other expenses, leaving less funding for frontline services. 2) The rising cost of living is squeezing both their staff and the jobseekers they support through higher food/fuel costs and stagnant wages. 3) Businesses are facing their own financial pressures which is reducing opportunities for training, apprenticeships, and jobs. If inflation continues, it will severely threaten the viability of employment support organizations and their ability to fulfill their mission of helping people gain meaningful employment.

This document proposes a sustainable financing model for Oyo State's Youth Empowerment Scheme in Nigeria. It suggests reengineering the existing scheme to focus on skills training and establishing Sustainable Economic Development Villages (SEDEV) where graduates can start businesses. A public-private partnership would fund this by attracting private investors, donors, and the informal sector through initiatives like "Fast4Development". The government would convert its monthly salary payments into development grants to match other funds. This sustainable approach aims to reduce poverty and unemployment through locally-driven enterprise and harnessing of resources.

Abstract: Canadian governments collaborate with partner organizations to implement public policy. This intensified in 2020 with the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic. We consider the case of Retrain Manitoba, a $12.5 million dollar workforce skills development fund that was part of Manitoba’s Skills, Talent, and Workforce Strategy. Retrain Manitoba was supported by the Province of Manitoba, the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce and administered by Economic Development Winnipeg (EDW). We detail the purpose, implementation, and select aggregate details of its successful outcomes. The program’s purpose was to help Manitoba organizations affected by the pandemic, by reimbursing companies for micro-credential courses they needed to improve staff skills. Any Manitoba-based business, not-for-profit, or charity of any size with a valid Manitoba business number in good standing could register for training reimbursement via the Retrain Manitoba portal. The per employee maximum was $2,500, and per organization maximum was $75,000. Applications were accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. For the reimbursement approval, organizations had to send a valid paid receipt via the Retrain Manitoba portal. Once confirmed, funds were paid out within five business days. Training eligible for reimbursement included courses with a start date as early as April 1, 2021, along with training paid for while the program was active. The program was slated to run from November 8, 2021, until March 31, 2022; or until the funds ran out. This occurred on February 4, 2022. At least 1,365 organizations were reimbursed for training over 18,000 employees. Eighty-seven per cent of the companies were small businesses (0 to 99 employees).
