The AEB is a key enabler of inclusive growth through the improvement of the qualification levels and skills of our adult residents. Our focus with the AEB is to address key issues including tackling unemployment amongst young people and creating more grass-roots provision to better engage hard to reach communities. We also want to ensure that AEB provision can be targeted to address the needs of key target groups such as care leavers and those over the age of 50. Finally, there are challenges for those residents in work and in low pay who struggle to re-train to access opportunities in our priority sectors including automotive/advanced manufacturing, business and professional services, construction and digital that we will use AEB to support. This service relates to the provision of adult education training services. ## Lots (3) ### Lot 1: Support for the Unemployed - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 80000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKG - **Description:** The provision of Adult Education Services - Lot 1 includes: • general AEB qualifications focussed on tackling unemployment especially but not exclusively amongst young people • Grass-roots delivery to better engage hard-to-reach communities and suppo... - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 2: Support for those already in employment - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 80000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKG - **Description:** The provision of Adult Education Services - Lot 2 includes: • AEB qualifications delivered flexibly so those working can access them outside of work • Re-training to improve the skills of low-paid and low-skilled workforce • Increased delivery in key... - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 3: Innovative Delivery - **Lot id:** `3` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 80000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKG - **Description:** The provision of Adult Education Services - Lot 3 includes: Innovative project and pilot-based approaches to respond to needs within the seven constituent local authority areas of the WMCA.
