Decision details
Co-investment in Skills Inquiry - Scoping Paper (in private)
Decision Maker: Enterprise and Business Committee - Fourth Assembly
Status: Complete
Is Key decision?: Yes
Purpose:
The
National Assembly for Wales’s Enterprise
and Business Committee undertook a discussion into the Welsh
Government’s Co-investment in Skills framework.
Terms of Reference
The
Welsh
Government’s Co-investment in skills framework (pdf 825KB) began being
implemented at the start of April 2015:
- To what extent will the policy of
co-investment help to meet the Welsh Government’s aim of “ensuring that
Wales develops a competitive edge in mobilising a productive and skilled
workforce”?
- Will employers engage with the principle
of co-investment? Are levels of training likely to increase or decrease as
a result?
- What impact (if any) will increased
financial investment from employers have on the quality and relevance to
the labour markets of training courses?
As
part of these suggested Terms of Reference, the Committee may wish to consider:
- Whether any additional training should
be exempt from co-investment for example for new start-up businesses;
- Are there alternative methods of sharing
the costs of training, for example a training levy?
- The use of European funding.
