Tender: Progression to Employment Programme for Economically Inactive Residents – Stockport Council

About

Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council Economy Work & Skills Service is seeking a lead provider to deliver a programme supporting economically inactive Stockport residents who are furthest from the labour market and have complex needs, including those not engaged with mainstream provision and those accessing work and skills triage via the Work & Skills Navigators. Delivery should be based around the specified 'Key Principles' and a 'Menu of Interventions', offering person-centred, one-to-one support through a Key Worker model and a varied set of interventions to address significant barriers and help participants progress into employment, education/training or further ongoing support. The programme must actively reach residents and communities not currently accessing support, advance equality of opportunity in the labour market, reduce social isolation, and include ongoing community engagement, integration and partnership working with Stockport Council and other local stakeholders.
