Decision details

Funding to Support Careers and Enterprise Advisors in Derbyshire

Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Clean Growth and Regeneration

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The purpose of the report is to request £61,000 from the Covid-19 Recovery fund to support the delivery of the Derbyshire Careers Hubs in Derbyshire for the year 2021-2022.

Decision:

RESOLVED - that the Cabinet Member approve the sum of £61,000 to support the Derbyshire Careers Hubs.

Reasons for the decision:

The funding will support the work of the Derbyshire Careers Hubs which is an integral part of the Employment and Skills Covid-19 recovery plans.

Alternative options considered:

6.1The alternatives include asking the Districts and Boroughs to help finance the shortfall. This has been rejected on the basis that this could not happen until the next financial year, when they are setting new budgets. This would require delaying work until April 2022 which was felt unacceptable given the importance of the work as part of the Covid-19 recovery plans.
6.2The do nothing alternative was also rejected on the basis that the project would be delayed in the same way as it would be in 6.1 above.
6.3Use another source of funding from within the Employment and Skills Service. This was rejected as there are no funds available from this source.
