"The Work Programme will tackle the endemic worklessness that has blighted so many of the country’s communities for decades. It is revolutionary in the way it tailors support to jobseekers’ individual needs and pays organisations primarily for getting people into sustained employment.”

"Millions of people on out of work benefits who have previously been shunted from dole queue to training room to dole queue again will now finally be able to access support that's built around their needs."

"We want to establish a deal, where we will do our bit and get people ready for work and in exchange we will expect people to take up the work that is available. We are sending out a clear message: if you can work, and we can help you find a job, you must work.”

Chris Grayling MP, Employment Minister – 10th June, 2011

The Work Programme Six Months On - 6th December, Westminster

The Government’s flagship Work Programme is now up and running, making this a crucial and interesting time for the Welfare to Work industry. Changes to be negotiated include the transfer to a universal benefit, a move to payment by results, and a drive to put the customer at the heart of the delivery process. These initiatives will require strong supply chains, robust ICT systems, and business support for providers working in a much changed delivery environment.

 

This major event will provide the guidance and networking opportunities to allow all stakeholders to promote their expertise and establish their place within the new system.
