The guide signposts graduates to public, private and voluntary sector opportunities, to help them build employability skills, gain work experience or enter the labour market, as well as providing links to further study options and resources on graduate mental health and wellbeing. To encourage graduates to take advantage of the support and resources available, we have worked with Universities UK to develop a sector statement of support and with HE providers to produce a collection of graduate employability case studies.<\/p>As part of the government\u2019s skills recovery package \u2018Plan for Jobs\u2019, we are also investing an additional £32 million in the National Careers Service up to March 2022. This investment will support delivery of individual careers advice for over 500,000 people whose jobs or learning have been affected by the COVID-19 outbreak by the end of the 2021/22 financial year, representing an increase of 22%. The Service has introduced a range of new initiatives to continue to support all customers, working with a wide range of partners to offer careers guidance activities designed to support employers, furloughed workers, graduates, students, those who have recently lost their jobs and anyone whose career path has been impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak.<\/p>
On 29 September 2020, we added additional courses to The Skills Toolkit covering digital, numeracy and employability skills. The new content includes a range of courses to develop \u2018work readiness\u2019 skills that employers report they value in their new recruits.<\/p>"}

The Government wants to create a world-beating technical education system and is investing heavily to ensure that it delivers the skills that the economy needs. We will be replacing 13,000 existing technical qualifications with new qualifications, known as T-levels, across fifteen routes in subjects including Heath and Social Care, Legal, Finance and Accounting and Social Care. The Government is creating specialist National Colleges to deliver higher level specialist technical skills in priority areas such as digital skills and to support national infrastructure projects such as HS2 and the New Institutes of Technology will deliver engineering and STEM skills. The Government will ensure that colleges deliver the skills required by local businesses by setting up new Skills Advisory Panels that will work with Local Enterprise Partnerships at a regional and local level.<\/p>
