Adult Skills Programme
Programme and documents
From August 2026, the Greater Lincolnshire Combined County Authority (GLCCA) will take control of the Adult Skills Fund (ASF), including Free Courses for Jobs, and Skills Bootcamps. We aim to provide Greater Lincolnshire residents with learning opportunities that improve their personal prosperity and in doing so improve local economic prosperity.
We will:
-
Create a programme of high-quality provision for Greater Lincolnshire adults that is accessible, aligned to local business need, well-promoted, and achieves good value for money by removing unnecessary duplication.
-
Provide adults with confidence and support to participate in learning and progress to higher levels.
-
Fund qualifications that are business-led and contribute to the long-term prosperity of Greater Lincolnshire, creating a locally skilled workforce.
-
Increase the capacity of the local provider base, so that Greater Lincolnshire's training infrastructure can be flexible and responsive to future local needs.
