Targets
The MAA will focus on improving integration between unemployment support and skills provision, and will look to maximise the resulting benefits.

Mike Emmerich Chief Executive Manchester Enterprises said:

“We envisage an MAA that will provide a meaningful contribution to raising GVA by tackling supply side constraints and thereby raising economic growth. It will enable workless people to have better access to skills training by getting the skills and employment systems to work together.
“It will also provide a welfare to work system designed around the needs of the individual, bringing together the support needs of those needing work regardless of which part of government is responsible for providing the systems.”
