Adult Skills Fund
As part of York and North Yorkshire’s devolution deal, York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority has taken responsibility for the region’s Adult Skills Fund.
The purpose of the Adult Skills Fund is to support adult learners to gain skills which will lead them to meaningful, sustained, and relevant employment, or enable them to progress to further learning.
Our Adult Skills Fund (ASF) priorities
- Widen Access and Participation: ASF as a gateway to learning and progression
- Embed Basic and Transferable Skills: ASF providing foundations to higher skills and employment
- Unlock Progression Pathways and Underutilised Talent: ASF providing routes to higher skills and better paid jobs
- Develop Flexible Provision: to meet the needs of learners and businesses
- Build Capacity and Capability: to enable an integrated, flexible and responsive provider base
- Enable Effective Collaboration: partnership working between providers
Our strategy supports the Combined Authority’s vision of enabling healthy and thriving communities in York and North Yorkshire.
