Specific target groups are: - unemployed people and those who are economically inactive - people with disabilities (physical or mental) - black and minority ethnic (BME) - refugees - ex-offenders - lone parents - over 50s - unpaid carers - care leavers Due to a change in the partnership, we now need to procure a specialist partner to deliver enterprise support to participants.
