ESF Procurement
Green light from European Commission
The European Commission has given the green light to the new European Social Fund (ESF) programme for England and Gibraltar for 2007-2013. The programme will invest £4 billion, of which £2 billion will come from the European Social Fund, over seven years, for two key priorities:
- extending employment opportunities by tackling barriers to work faced by people who are unemployed or disadvantaged in the labour market;
- developing a skilled and adaptable workforce by training people who lack basic skills and good qualifications.
