The election of the Liberal-Conservative Coalition Government and the introduction of the ‘Big Society’ agenda presents a real opportunity to empower VCS organisations to deliver work-readiness programmes and employability schemes. The Foyer Federation’s Working Assets programme is a good example of this but there are several similar schemes being offered elsewhere. Currently, there is little opportunity for charities to build upon such programmes and serve a wider client base. Given that there are around 85,000 NEETs in England, there is a clear demand for programmes which focus on developing life skills and employability.
