Scottish Government and Scottish Local Government Partnership Working Agreement for Employability
The partnership agreement for
employability signed by Scottish Ministers and COSLA leaders in
December 2018, signalled a commitment to a collaborative approach
between the two levels of Government in Scotland.
The Scottish and Local Government Employability
Action Plan sets out the framework for how we will facilitate
the changes with the right levels of national leadership and local
action.

Spokesperson regularly issue partnership joint updates on the work

Employability Partnership
Framework
Recognising the degree of variability of Local
Employability Partnerships across Scotland a new framework has been
developed to provide some consensus around structure and remit of
employability partnerships, whilst allowing flexibility reflective
of local circumstances. The framework has been developed
following joint discussions with SLAED and SCVO and aims to provide
a starting point in developing enhanced local partnership working
for both strategic and delivery partners. The framework has also
been adopted for use in delivering elements of the Young Person's
Guarantee.
