Full employment and world class skills challenges

Summary

This Report, 'Full Employment and World Class Skills: Responding to the Challenges' (HC 939), looks at plans to improve the co-ordination of employment and skills policies.

In July 2007 the Government published two documents: a Green paper 'In Work, Better Off: Next Steps to Full Employment’ (Cm. 7130) setting out the next stages of its plans for welfare reform; and 'World Class Skills: Implementing the Leitch Review of Skills in England’ (Cm. 7181). These documents set out the Government's plans to improve the co-ordination of employment and skills policies so that people who are low-skilled and out of work have a better chance of finding and keeping employment.

'Full Employment and World Class Skills: Responding to the Challenges' (HC 939) examines these two key policy statements, assessing the Department for Work and Pension's plans for future reform and how the Department will fulfil its role in improving the skill levels of people entering work.
