New scheme to help unemployed announced

A new £500,000 programme aimed at helping people aged 25 and over who are currently out of employment has been announced.

The scheme will be carried into the county’s communities by three organisations renowned for their expertise and experience in supporting people towards employment.

With guidance from Warwickshire County Council’s Skills Hub, the programme is intended to assist 172 participants in gaining vital employability skills, boosting confidence and ultimately guiding them towards meaningful employment.

Councillor George Finch, Interim Leader at Warwickshire County Council, said:

“One of our key priorities at Warwickshire is to create a skilled workforce and support our residents into employment. We are pleased to continue our partnerships to deliver Destination Work across the county.

“The programme plays a vital role in helping residents move forward with confidence, providing them with the support they need to prepare for and secure meaningful employment.”
