1 The Scottish Government Ministerial Summit on Employability 2017 Scotland s Employability Support Service Delivering Fair Start Scotland 8 November :30 14:30 The Pearce Institute Govan Road Glasgow G51 3UU

2 Welcome I am delighted to welcome you to the second Scottish Government Ministerial Summit on Employability It has been almost a year since our last Summit and significant progress has been made in the development of new employment support services which many of you here today were involved in shaping and developing. The contracts to deliver Fair Start Scotland were awarded in October 2017, marking an important milestone. Our ambition is clear we want to make Scotland s employment services work more effectively for the people who need them. Fair Start Scotland is based upon the values of dignity and respect, fairness and equality and continuous improvement; with a drive towards real and sustainable jobs and an opportunity to deliver inclusive growth and tackle the inequalities that can often prevent people from achieving their potential. We cannot achieve this ambition in isolation and recognise that through collaboration and partnership we can make a positive difference to the lives of people in Scotland. Today is an opportunity to discuss the practicalities of delivery in a local context, identify and share best practice and develop those strong and resilient partnerships which will support successful delivery of the service. I d like to thank you in advance for sharing your skills and expertise with us today and I know that by working together we will deliver the flexible, tailored and person centred-services that we all agree, people in Scotland deserve. Jamie Hepburn MSP Minister for Employability and Training
