LSC staff prepare for local authority transfer

1 min read Education
The process to transfer Learning and Skills Council staff to new agencies in preparation for the LSC's abolition in April 2010 has begun.

Around 1,000 LSC workers will be moved to local authorities as councils take on responsibility for securing education and training provision for 16- to 19-year-olds.

Another 500 will join the new Young People's Learning Agency to support local authorities in planning and commissioning education provision, while the remainder of the LSC's 3,200 staff will join the Skills Funding Agency or the National Apprenticeship Service.

A series of meetings were held last week for LSC staff across the country. The process of deciding which agency staff will join will be completed by June and formal transfer will take place on 1 April next year.
