The Committee’s inquiry examining the effectiveness of Government support to get people into employment continues with a session to understand the perspective of employers and the self-employed.
Meeting details
Giving evidence will be the Federation of Small Businesses, the National Enterprise Network, business development consultancy Momentic and financial services firm Aviva. The session is likely to explore what employers and the self-employed need from DWP support services and wider issues relating to economic inactivity and job vacancies.
The inquiry has been looking at the effectiveness of employment support programmes including Kickstart, Restart, Way to Work and the Work and Health Programme. It has also been exploring the role of Jobcentre Plus and work coaches and how DWP could work more effectively with employers and other organisations.
