395 Tackling Worklessness - European Social Fund - Intermediate Labour Market Programme PDF 88 KB
Minutes:
A report by the Interim Director of Corporate Services set out a model for delivering an Intermediate Labour Market (ILM) Programme as part of the Worklessness element of Wirral’s European Social Fund (ESF) employment programme.
This programme would fund part of a fixed term employment contract with training with a local employer for those residents experiencing a range of barriers to employment. It would assist those residents to re-enter the job market whilst also supporting local business growth.
Councillor A Hodson informed that the number of people in receipt of benefits had reduced slightly this week and that this scheme would help older people to get back to work.
RESOLVED: That
(1) the proposed delivery model for Wirral’s Intermediate Labour Market Programme as outlined in section 4 of the report be approved; and
(2) the Interim Director of Corporate Services be authorised to commence delivery of the programme.
