Diolch, Lywydd. Supporting people to enter, remain and progress within sustained employment is a vital part of ensuring a prosperous and secure future for Wales. ‘Taking Wales Forward’ commits the Welsh Government to reshaping

‘employability support for job‑ready individuals, and those furthest from the labour market, to acquire the skills and experience to gain and maintain sustainable employment.’

The Welsh Government is, therefore, developing an employability plan that I intend to publish in the new year, which will set out how we will create the conditions to deliver this commitment and how we will measure success.
