Notice Title
Pathways to Work - Targeted Employment Support for Ethnic Minority Groups in Sheffield
Notice Description
Opportunity Sheffield seeks proposals which can address the particular engagement, employability, and progression to work challenges faced by residents within Sheffield's ethnic minority communities, with sharp focus on those who are economically inactive. Providers will need to offer specialist interventions to help participants overcome personal and/or circumstantial barriers to the labour market. These interventions will be tailored to target participants. This project will be seeking to award four contracts with a max. budget of PS85,000 each. Successful providers will be able access a pooled budget of estimated PS30-85,000 for the evidenced delivery of outcomes above the contracted target (this budget is not included in the estimated total value in this advertisement and subject to availability). This project is part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and Economic Inactivity Trailblazer funds.
