Pleasure to visit @twinemployment in Leicester today for national #EmployabilityDay hearing about their work helping people with training and coaching to move into work. Getting more people into work is at the heart of our vision for spreading opportunity and economic growth.

Employability Day 2023 is taking place on the 30th June! For more information and resources on how to make the most of the day, please see here: ersa.org.uk/empday23 #EmpDay23 #WorkingForBetterWork

Employability Day 2023 is just over THREE WEEKS away! Here is @Alison_McGovern, Shadow Minister for Employment, talking about the importance of ERSA members and the employability sector. #EmpDay23 #WorkingForBetterWork

@askryanair Ryanair had “technical faults”from Leeds to Alicante this morning, passengers still in the airport when we arrived for Dublin. We went through the gate but we weren’t able to fly. Alicante passengers suddenly had a plane! Now we have “technical issues”. Yes right!

A brilliant event, another example of how, through ERSA, the employability sector continues to sustain nationwide communities of good practice! #WorkingForBetterWork

@DWPgovuk @GuyOpperman Putting forward employment support sector solutions built on our experience and expertise working with those who who can fill the vacancies. Additional solutions - expanding eligibility to existing provisions and bringing forward SPF People and Skills to 2023. @ersa_news

Today, Minister for Employment @GuyOpperman hosted key representatives from the third sector and industry to discuss how the DWP and employers can work together to tackle labour shortages and support more people back into work

Earlier this week ERSA and NPC (New Philanthropy Capital) held a joint fringe meeting at the Conservative Party conference. @ersa_news #employmentsupport ersa.org.uk/blog/the-emplo…

Kicking off here with @ersa_news and @stephenctimms and our @DanRCorry to discuss how civil society should be responding to crisis and recession

@ersa_news @stephenctimms @DanRCorry @stephenctimms kicks us off by discussing the work issues which the pandemic has thrown up, particularly for those with disabilities and those out of work - argues we need more local level response to support people into work, potentially on an ICS level

The UK Shared Prosperity Fund was meant to play this role - Stephen has 'no idea' why the UKSPF will not offer support for the first two years

@DanRCorry agrees saying we have a very different labour market problem than we thought we would -one of participation. Many people are far from work, and one thing charities are very good at is engaging these people. They create trust to help those who aren't 'low hanging fruit'

☕️Starting the morning in Liverpool at a cost of living breakfast panel hosted by our friends @ERSA_CEO @ersa_news hearing from @stephenctimms @NPCthinks @InclusionNW @careerconnects2 on making the labour market more accessible & fairer. LOVING @balticcreative venue too!

ERSA Youth Hubs Forum 10am Wednesday 6th September. Don’t miss it! eventbrite.co.uk/e/youth-hubs-f…

@tonywilsonIES @cjayanetti ERSA is working closely with our members that deliver Restart to develop a considered, collective and evidenced response. We will build on the excellent contributions by @TonyWilsonIES.

Was good to talk to @cjayanetti for this piece on Restart. I agree with much of it. However - I don't share the pessimism on performance! I think the big issue is the risk of £2bn+ cuts to employment services at just the time we should be doing more. 🧵... theguardian.com/society/2022/j…

Liam Gallagher performed in Blackburn with proceeds to Nightsafe a homelessness charity working with young people. This raised money & raised Nightsafe’s profile. Credit where it’s due - thanks Liam and Adidas! @LiamGallagher @GaryAspen #Adidas #nightsafe #endhomelessness

@AnnaSmee1 @YF_Foundation Sending you best wishes for the future Anna.

1/3 After an action packed time at @YF_Foundation I’m stepping away from grant making to return to delivery for children & young people. It’s been a privilege to lead YFF at such a critical time, when young people have been faced with so much uncertainty.
