<p>One year ago, our Education and Employment Strategy set out plans to transform
the way prisoners develop the skills they need to secure employment on release.</p><p>Since
then, we have overhauled the prison education system through implementing new contracts
and a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). These allow governors to commission skills-based
training and education that meets the needs of the local labour market.</p><p>We have
also introduced the New Futures Network (NFN), which brokers partnerships between
prisons and employers in England and Wales, and a new ROTL framework to increase the
opportunities available for prisoners to gain experience in real workplaces.</p>
