Over the last 20 years, the UK has become a leader in creating an employment culture that promotes work-family balance and assists working parents.

The University of ÌÇÐÄTV has published the third in a series of briefings exploring the implications of Brexit for the job market, workers’ rights, and employment policy. Skills training for vulnerable workers: effects of the loss of EU funding after Brexit outlines how current skills training in the UK is supported by EU funding, and recommends key priorities for a post-Brexit UK-funded skills programme.
