Future Skills Programme

Future Skills Programme is one strand of the Employability Innovation Fund. The fund was announced in the Prisons Strategy White Paper (December 2021) to enable prisons to work with organisations to deliver sector-specific training to meet the changing needs of the economy and smooth the path from prison to employment. The programme offers employers the opportunity to develop and run bespoke skills training courses for prisoners approaching release. These courses will provide prison leavers with a route to work, and employers with a talent pool that matches their specific needs and values. In issuing this Prior Information Notice, the MoJ is seeking to inform the market of this planned procurement with a view to having a virtual market engagement session on 5th December 2022. This will be recorded if you are unable to attend this session.
