description

ECC has allocated funding to the Essex Learning Partnership Fund (ELPF) to deliver training which support its strategic aims. This funding draws on ECC's Adult Education Budget funding allocation from the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). There is a maximum of £150,000 available. The maximum funding that organisations may bid for is £50,000. Projects must deliver a minimum of 250 enrolments.

ECC is looking to award funding to organisations that can demonstrate the most effective way in which the money will be used and has the greatest impact on learners.

Projects supported by this funding are intended to help address the issue of worklessness in Essex. The aim of the fund is to develop the skills levels of residents (aged 19 and over) whilst complementing other available provision and providing progression routes to further learning, employment and volunteering.

To reach individuals and local communities across Essex, we would particularly welcome bids from voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations whose reach extends to those in greatest need.

The key objectives of this funding are:

To deliver a programme of community learning activities which enable adults to move towards sustained employment and active citizenship, involving one or more of the following:
improve employability and essential skills, including digital skills
provide opportunities for learners to become involved in the local community
increase learners' confidence and motivation
have a positive effect on learners' health and wellbeing
To encourage Essex residents who are not in employment and have low level skills to engage in learning and progress to further training opportunities, particularly targeting those who mainstream provision struggles to engage or help to progress into further learning or employment.
To provide Information, Advice and Guidance for residents not in employment about further learning, volunteering or mainstream employment services and/or getting work.

The priority target group for activities supported by this fund is unemployed adults (aged 19 or over and resident in Essex), particularly those who have completed a 'work programme' without progressing into employment, those with low level skills and those who are less likely to be engaged into learning directly by a mainstream provider. These are likely to include:

Universal Credit claimants who are out of work
Job Seekers Allowance claimants
Income Support claimants
Employment Support Allowance claimants
Disability Living Allowance or Personal Independence Payment claimants
Other working age people not on benefits who wish to return to the labour market.
