“Get Britain Working” White PaperContribution
For too many people, walking into a jobcentre feels like going back in time to the 1980s or 1990s, so we will trial a radically improved digital offer using the latest technologies and AI to provide up-to-date information on jobs, skills and other support, and to free up work coach time. We will also test video and phone support—because in the 2020s, rather than go into the jobcentre only every week or fortnight, people can have a jobcentre in their pocket. Our front-line staff are our greatest asset, so we will develop the work coach and careers adviser professions, including by launching a new coaching academy.
