Work Programme: building specialist capacity
7 December 2010
St Albans Conference Centre, Leigh Place, Baldwin Gardens, Holborn, London EC1N 7AB
This event, kindly supported by Serco Welfare to Work, is designed for organisations looking to be prime contractors for the DWP’s new Work Programme. Hear from specialist providers, customers and employers about what works best in supporting those customers who are further from the labour market.
There are 520,000 people in England who use community based social care, many of whom will be referred to the Work Programme. The aim of the event is to demonstrate how specialist provision can ensure your Work Programme solution is fully inclusive to people who face complex health and disability related barriers.
The event is relevant for anyone involved in developing tenders for the Work Programme – Contract Negotiators, Partnership Managers, Policy Managers, Regional Managers, Bid Writing Teams etc.
By the end of the day you will have an understanding of:
Specialist approaches and innovative solutions that get results…
You will discover a range of transferable models and approaches that overcome the most complex barriers to produce sustainable, evidenced job outcomes.
You will have a chance to question a range of specialist providers and employers.
Who is actually furthest from the labour market…
You will have the opportunity to engage with customers with a learning disability, mental health issues, autism, ex-offenders with a disability and young people leaving care.
What works…
You will experience a range of case studies and success stories told first hand by customers, employers and specialist providers.
Please note that there is no charge for attending this event.
