Policy Updates

More widely there are emerging policies that could impact on electrotechnical training provision and recruitment, to help ensure funding and accountability is focused on the skills that learners need to get into employment.

• The Skills and Post-16 Education Act 2022 has a new measure ‘Prioritising local needs and local people’, placing a legal requirement on colleges and other providers to work with employers to develop skills plans, so that the training on offer meets the needs of local areas.
• Statutory guidance for FE Institutions entitled ‘Review how well the education or training provided meets local needs‘ sets out that governing bodies of colleges that provide post-16 technical education or training will consider Local Skills Improvement Plans when making decisions on their provision.
