A new online tool to help councils better understand employment and skills provision in their local areas has been launches.
The resource from the Local Government Association (LGA) maps national employment and skills provision in every local authority in England.
This will allow local authorities to see what provision is available to their local area.
Cllr Kevin Bentley, chair of the LGA’s People and Places Board: 'All too often the skills and employment system can be complex and fragmented. This is an important resource which supports local authorities to better understand and navigate employment and skills provision in their local areas.
'We also want it to help improve connections between local and national government on how to collaborate on existing provision within local areas and to plan future provision.
'Helping our residents retrain and get into work is critical to building back better from the crisis into recovery and levelling up our communities.'
