The Department for Education has just released two webinars, which the TUC are promoting, that provide an overview of the development of the National Retraining Scheme and a demonstration of the first part of the scheme, Get Help to Retrain.

The National Retraining Scheme is the Government’s new programme, developed alongside the TUC and CBI through the National Retraining Partnership, to prepare adults for future changes to the economy, including those brought about by automation. It will help adults to retrain and secure better jobs whilst supporting employers to get the skilled workers they need.

The webinars are:

• Introduction to the National Retraining Scheme
• Demonstration of Get Help to Train

The webinars can be found on the TUC website.

Unionlearn recently published a news story giving details on the first trial of the National Retraining Scheme in Liverpool, which can be found here.
