Current Projects
ASAPH - EQUAL
The central focus of the ASAPH Development Partnership is to generate
the innovative use of ICTs to provide skills and training opportunities
to current employees, in particular to improve access to training
for people in employment who do not have existing capabilities or
opportunities to gain additional skills. By highlighting categories
of employees currently disadvantaged in Wales and using ICTs to
deliver innovative and equal training opportunities the work fits
closely with Theme F.
The DP involves a range of partners from across Wales with experience
and expertise to ensure that these aims are realised. It comprises
local authorities, NGOs, consultancies, training providers, and
large manufacturers, all of whom have a strong interest in helping
to ensure that people can balance their life between work and home.
The Partnership will be innovative through novel approaches to the
use of ICTs to target training opportunities of employees who are
currently disadvantaged at work. The outcomes will ensure that employers
develop and maintain a culture of social responsibility with their
employees and the society in which they operate.
The ASAPH DP will use a "Team Wales approach" to support
the development of a cohesive partnership between SMEs, relevant
training and service providers to respond to the identified needs
of individuals and employers. The force of this approach will be
evidenced by the support given to individuals to overcome barriers
they face due to dependant/child care responsibilities, age, low
level of skills, access to ICT, geographical ward deprivation, etc.
The DP will also be extremely innovative in relation to the extent
and nature of its dissemination and mainstreaming activities. The
impact of the Partnership will extend beyond the partner organisations
into national and transnational policy arenas and will impact positively
on a range of policies identified as being crucial to the development
of Wales.
