Issue details
Supported Apprenticeships for residents in supported accommodation
The decision being made is whether to approve
Contain Outbreak Management Funding (COMF) for £645 000 to
provide a one-off programme of work to support people who are
living in supported accommodation into apprenticeships.
People living in supported accommodation (as well as those in
temporary accommodation and those at risk of becoming homeless) are
often not in work or training. They may require additional support
to take up an apprentice scheme or a programme to see if they would
be interested/ appropriate to take on an apprentice (Sector Based
Work Academy Programme - SWAP).
The funding would enable up to 150 SWAPs and 50 supported
apprenticeships in key sectors including health, care, construction
and the visitor economy.
