We need our government to take action to simplify and streamline the structures and tools that help individuals fund lifelong learning. The current haphazard patchwork of education and job training programs, pilots, and funding options has created a system that disproportionately benefits those with means. That’s why Third Sector is proposing a SIMPLE framework to help create a more streamlined approach to saving and paying for postsecondary education and job training that can provide clarity and ease for learners, workers, employers, and all those who care about ensuring these opportunities are accessible to everyone.

AN EMPOWERING APPROACH * New Launch C Level Training Program * Service Express Key Learning Center An empowering approach is about working in ways which empower people: ways which mean that people feel confident, that they and the groups or organisations they are involved in are inclusive and organised, that networks are formed, are cooperative and support each other and ultimately they are influential. We use the five Community Empowerment Dimensions to think about ways to put an empowering approach in to action.
