Following the announcement on 5 October for DWP’s new Commercial Agreement for Employment and Health Related Services (CAEHRS), ERSA, the voice of employment support, will facilitate a series of ongoing meetings for its membership. ERSA Forum meetings, developed by the sector, for the sector are a place for member organisations to come together, to collaborate, share good practice and support the nations learners and jobseekers.
On Friday 23 October, ERSA’s Chief Executive, Elizabeth Taylor hosted a virtual event bringing together the CAEHRS Framework organisations and the wider sector. We were thrilled to be joined by 20 of the 28 organisations on the framework for the afternoon. With over 200 organisations with an interest in working with those on the framework, we think this is a great start to the looming task ahead.
In case you missed it, we have uploading parts of the sessions on to the ERSA YouTube Channel, subscribe there to be notified when new content goes live and check out some of the video’s that have already been submitted from the CAEHRS Framework.
