Details
Activity should involve a range of relevant integrated actions to ensure that residents affected by multiple disadvantages receive appropriate support. Projects do not have to deliver on a Lancashire wide basis as this may not be appropriate for the activity being proposed/group being targeted. A clear rationale with underpinning evidence should be presented in the application to justify the activity and target group(s).
Activity should aim to give participants opportunities that will facilitate progression to skills development and employment.
Successful applicants will be encouraged to become members of the Lancashire Adult Skills Forum. They will also be encouraged to contribute positively to the development of the Lancashire Skills Escalator, to ensure that Lancashire residents are referred to the appropriate provision in accordance with their needs, interests and distance from the labour market.
Applications are encouraged from consortia or other similar types of partnership arrangements. In each such case the application must be completed and submitted in the ECLAIMS IT system by the lead organisation on behalf of the partnership/consortia.
