This learning recognises that irrespective of whether the Jobseeker is a lone parent or from an ethnic minority (or both) it can affect them in different ways. To complement this approach other more specific products are available to staff, for example, Helping Parents into Work and Skills Screening - the process by which potential skills needs in relation to claimants’ job goals, or available jobs in the local labour market, are identified.</p><p>Both are useful when supporting lone parents and ethnic minority Jobseekers.</p><p> </p><p>Overall the learning offered places a greater emphasis on the need for personalisation and flexibility which enables the Work Coaches to build strong relationships with all Jobseekers and Jobcentre staff will complete this learning programme.</p>
