The Training for Work programme which has been provided by Scottish Enterprise (now Skills Development Scotland) for more than 10 years is now in danger of collapse.
Why?
It appears that recruitment for this very important provision is being stifled by Job Centre Plus offices throughout Scotland and Training Providers are finding it incredibly difficult to have individuals referred onto the programme. This means that we and other Providers cannot secure employment for these clients — and we have employers who are very keen to offer work placements leading to real full time jobs!!!
So why is the recruitment becoming so difficult? Are there not many people looking for jobs? Are the total numbers on the Unemployment Register falling? What can be offered for those searching for jobs?
The word on the street is that Training for Work monies are being earmarked for other purposes such as the large amounts required for Modern Apprenticeships even although the CBI and employers have clearly said that their recruitment for MA’s and College leavers will be reduced this year by 50%.
The success rate for those achieving Modern Apprenticeships is not impressive with those in Construction for example securing only 40% of the qualification.
Last year our Training for Work clients achieved full time jobs for over 75% of those who were recruited.
