WELFARE REFORM:
Learning to get back to work
Keynote Address from Rt. Margaret Hodge MP, Minister of State, Department for Work and Pensions.
Wednesday 16 February 2006, London
A central goal of the Department for Work and Pensions is to raise the employment rate and to help people move from welfare into paid employment. The receiving of Incapacity Benefits are a prime focus of the forthcoming Green Paper on Welfare reform which seeks to change a systems that too often has incentivised claimants to remove themselves permanently from the workforce.
Any new approach will represent a significant educational challenge - to motivate people to re-engage with the labour market and to enhance their skills so as to improve employability.
This conference is an opportunity to assess what is already in place to help meet the needs of those at some distance from the labour market - and what more needs to be one to meet the challenges of reform.
The event will be of interest to people working in colleges job centres and job centre plus, information, advice and guidance services, local government and the voluntary sector who are concerned to help people find ways of realising more of their potential in the labour force and overcome welfare dependency.
