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.
