Local Employability & Skills Partnership Delivery Plan 2022-2027

Dumfries & Galloway's Local Employability & Skills Partnership is transforming as part of a Scotland-wide transition to a better aligned and integrated employability support system.

We have developed this strategic delivery plan to cover the five-year period until 2027 to develop and support our place-based approach and to improve local co-production, co-commissioning, and stakeholder engagement.

Our vision is that 'by 2025 Dumfries & Galloway will have a collaborative, effective and easily understood employability and skills system focused on positive outcomes which are person- centred and provide pathways to sustainable and fair work'.

This will be delivered through our objectives:

  • to drive forward and implement the shared ambitions and actions of No One Left Behind and the response to Covid and Brexit to ensure the right support is available in the right way at the right time, with a focus on delivery of the Young Persons Guarantee within an all-age employability support service
  • to use a range of labour market data and evidence including the actual experience of service users to coordinate and inform decision making, identify priorities and support effective partnership delivery.
  • to agree shared local governance to streamline the employability landscape, support collaborative working and coordinate resources to improve opportunities and outcomes
  • to set and monitor quality standards for employability provision and encourage compliance by providers.
  • to encourage employers to adopt fair work principles and promote inclusive growth which is sustainable for people and planet
