People and Skills
UK Shared Prosperity Fund - People and Skills
Through the People and Skills UKSPF investment priority, places can use their funding to help reduce the barriers some people face to employment and support them to move towards employment and education. Places can also target funding into skills for local areas to support employment and local growth.
Derby City Council are seeking to focus on two primary elements for our People and Skills investment priority:
- Employment support for economically inactive people.
- Funding Skills provision - to provide people with the skills needed to progress in life and work.
Following the conclusion of our March 2023 Open Call we supported the following projects to deliver their programmes within the period of 4 April 2023 to 31 March 2024:
- YMCA Derbyshire – Thriving Futures
- Artcore Partnership – Empowerment for Employment
- The Prince’s Trust – Derby Steps to Success
For our 2024-25 UKSPF funding allocation we have considered UKSPF and Derby City Council priorities and following an internal assessment and approval process we are pleased to confirm that the following projects are currently live and in delivery up until 31 March 2025:
- Derby City Council - Employment and Skills Hub
- YMCA Derbyshire – Thriving Futures
- Artcore and DBHCA – Career Compass
