Summary:

The aim of the study, which was undertaken by Ecorys on behalf of the the UK Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and published in April 2013, was to inform thinking and negotiations around the forthcoming round of structural and cohesion programmes that will run from 2014 to 2020. In particular the research examined how ESF might be used to promote economic growth and the creation of employment opportunities through, for example, supporting activity around self-employment, entrepreneurship and the provision of re-skilling opportunities for individuals.

The research was based around Manchester and Newcastle to gain insights into how ESF delivery arrangements are working at the local level, and how they might best serve city-level priorities in the future.
