A product of the London Skills for Life Strategy and evidence base has been the development of the 'License to Skill' Employability templates or toolkit - an innovative development which respond to the wider skills agenda.
They identify the need for different types of programmes shaped by individuals' needs and goals not by provider or funder convenience – importantly they respond to employer need.
All the main funders are signed up to working with the templates and they are being used in a number of ways throughout the project lifecycle in underpinning initiatives. Examples are the LSC Employability Demonstration Pilots and City Strategy Pathfinders.
License to Skill Employability templates have been drawn up to help providers develop their provision so that it is more effective in meeting differing needs and goals.
You can download the latest version of the License to Skill Template Toolkit at the JH Consulting website.
