| National Employability Support Workers Training Programme scoping survey |
Employability support is an increasingly important sector in Scotland, and as the support becomes more holistic to address a wider range of needs and barriers, the work and skills required to deliver support have become more complex. A great deal of good practice has been developed over the years, and to both recognise employability support as a profession and spread good practice effectively, The Scottish Government's Employability Team would like to explore the scope for the development of a national employability support workers’ training programme, with associated qualifications as required.
The aim for any future training programme/ qualification development would be to:
• be nationally accessible
• provide nationally recognised modules that are transferable between learning institutions to create packages of learning and qualifications
• be practically driven so learners use their new skills and knowledge at work as they learn
• build on good practice and existing learning and experience
• be designed to fit the needs of learners, employers and, ultimately the Scottish economy and workless population.
In order to research the feasibility of such an initiative Light on the Path Consultancy are undertaking some research on our behalf. Light on the Path have developed a survey in order to identify and explore the needs, demand and known supply of learning in the area of employability support. The findings will be used to inform the potential development of a qualification in close collaboration with the academic community and other learning providers.
The link to the survey is http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2BVJZMR.
For further information, or to discuss involvement please contact Sabrina Allison, Director, Light on the Path on 07903 93078, or email : sabrina@lightonthepath.co.uk.
