Employment support

We provide a range of employability support, vocational training, qualifications and apprenticeships, as well as support for people who run their own business or want to start one.

Who we help

We support a range of people, including:

  • People who are not in education, employment or training (NEET)
  • People who are unemployed
  • People who run their own businesses or would like to set one up
  • Young people, ex-offenders and people in recovery from addiction

Each programme we run is for a slightly different group of people, so exact eligibility will depend on the individual scheme. If you can’t find a service that can help you, try these other sources of help.

What to expect

Our friendly and knowledgeable team delivers a wide range of programmes that help people from all walks of life to learn new skills, gain valuable qualifications and find decent, rewarding jobs.
