Priority: Priority 4: Creating skills for the future
This project provides intensive, targeted wrap-around support for people facing housing insecurity to move closer to the job market or into work through a tailored 'Pathway to Employment', which is built upon partnerships supporting vulnerable households. Through direct support and guidance delivered by one-to-one employment advisers, participants are able to identify their barriers to work. With action plans, training opportunities, specialist support and workshops participants are aided to reduce or remove their barriers and move closer to or into employment. The programme is delivering counselling; support with job searching; childcare; gym membership; volunteering/work experience; digital inclusion; qualifications; confidence & stress management.
