We work with key local providers to help people into work and to increase their skills levels. Our partners offer a range of programmes and courses for local people. Our ESF programme helps local young people and adults who may have additional barriers to work to move closer to the labour market.
Since April 2020 we have coordinated a COVID-19 Redundancy and Recruitment Service for Leicester and Leicestershire to support local employers and people with the impact of the pandemic, working with the National Careers Service, Jobcentre Plus (DWP), SERCO and the Leicester Employment Hub.
