About This Publication
This resource is for new practitioners and managers working with families to support progression from family literacy, language and numeracy and wider family learning into education, training and employment. The steps to employment and the development of employability skills form part of the rich range of outcomes from family learning programmes. It is particularly useful for those considering providing programmes in new contexts, such as extended services, for the first time.
It gives a brief overview of the policy context and discusses the debate on the types of skills employers are looking for, and those gained through family learning programmes. It provides practical examples of routes into employment, and encourages debate and discussion regarding the role family learning plays in supporting progression into employment.
Available alongside this topic paper is a learning resource called Family Learning to Employment: An activity sheet for family learning. This contains ideas and an activity which can be used in family learning sessions to encourage discussion with learners on different progression and employment possibilities. Family learning providers are in a strong position to raise aspirations and to capitalise on the opportunities for progression for learners.
