AoC responds to the Get Britain Working White Paper

David Hughes, Chief Executive, Association of Colleges: “It’s right that the white paper from the government today focuses firmly on ensuring that both young people, and adults who have been economically inactive, are able to enter the workplace with the skills they need to succeed.

“Colleges already lead the way on supporting their communities into meaningful employment. They will need to play a central role in these reforms and they are ready and willing, with the expertise, to drive them forward. To have the impact the government desires, there must be joined-up services at the local level, collaboration nationally across government departments and investment to follow.”
