Webinar & slides: Working for the Future

The Commission on the Future of Employment Support

This webinar introduces our new Commission on the Future of Employment Support, which is being hosted by IES with funding and support from abrdn Financial Fairness Trust.

The Commission has been established to develop evidence-led proposals for reform of our system of employment support and services, so that it can better meet the needs of the individuals, employers and our economy now and in the future.

At this webinar we present insights from our launch report on the key challenges and opportunities that we are facing in the labour market, how we compare with our international peers, and the role that employment support and services play. It sets out how you can get involved in the Commission over the coming months, and gives space for attendees to give their views on what is working well and what needs to change.

More information on the Commission is available here including a Call for Evidence that will be open until 30th January 2023. Tony Wilson's presentation slides are available in .pdf format, below.
