How does it work?
West at Work links in with local communities to ensure that people have the advice, support and skills to access jobs and training at the key development sites across the West of England.
The project also aims to ensure that developers, employers, voluntary and key statutory agencies understand the potential and requirements of local communities so that particular circumstances or issues can be addressed.
The needs of different communities vary enormously across the West of England and it is therefore important for us to understand local features about each area or group that we work with.
The aim is to offer information and support to those with the greatest need.
We work with the following organisations and groups:
Neighbourhood Renewal |
Regeneration Partnerships |
Local Development Trusts |
Surestart & Parent Groups |
Existing Community Venues |
Health Centres |
Employment Support Projects |
Community Learning Teams |
Faith Groups |
Learning Networks and Learning Centres |
Black & Minority Ethnic Groups |
Local Authority Community Workers |
Schools and Children’s Centres |
Youth Projects |
Support for Homeless e.g. NOVAS |
Re-employ and Disabilities Groups |
