Positive Goals

Positive Goals is designed to support vulnerable and disengaged job seekers on their journey back to work. We engage with 60 participants per year across 5 programmes, our participants are Single Parents and long term unemployed job seekers aged 25+. The objective is to support 50% of our participants into sustained employment.

Each programme lasts 6 weeks in which we deliver an intense labour market related employability programme including three aspects of qualifications: World Host Principles of Customer Service, Core Skills in IT at Level 3 and Emergency First Aid. Thereafter, we continue to support our participants for 13 weeks in order to maximise their chances of securing employment. We have a number of key partners supporting our project including DWP Job Centre Plus, Inverclyde Council, West College Scotland, local businesses including Holiday Inn Express and EE. Additionally, we engage with small charities which offer expertise for example money management and welfare support. Strong, cohesive partnerships are at the foundation of our successful projects across our organisation.
