This webinar explores, explains, and summarises what the new white paper means for schools and colleges, what support they will received and how the DfE plan to make technical skills training more responsive to employers' skills needs.

On the 21st January 2021, the DfE published their ‘Skills for Jobs: Lifelong Learning for Opportunity and Growth’ policy paper.

The white paper sets out reforms to post-16 technical education and training to support people to develop the skills needed to get good jobs and improve national productivity. It establishes how the DfE will deliver on the Prime Minister’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee and plug the skills gaps currently identified at higher technician levels, including the delivery of high-value training and education.
