## Notice

SELAG01: Support and skills development for unemployed / inactive Adults (18+) in Saltash and Torpoint Evidence from the analysis of IMD data indicates that skills and employment are an issue in these areas. In addition, there are potential projects approaching SELAG to tackle skills and employment but not from the towns listed. As part of the strategic LAG approach, SELAG seeks to deploy funding across its area, and not merely accept projects, as this can lead to oversupply in particular areas and under commitment in others. Applicants will present projects that demonstrate their ability to engage with local unemployed and economically inactive residents in eligible areas of Saltash and Torpoint. Projects will deliver a level of skills development relevant to the needs of participants and move them closer to the workforce. This may include addressing soft skills such as increasing confidence, raising aspiration and boosting self-esteem; accredited training; or anything in between. Following the intervention at least 50% of participants will be supported into further training, job seeking or employment. Saltash and Torpoint are comprised of different demographics, particularly with regard to the age structure of residents. We are looking for: * Projects that demonstrate a link between local employers staffing needs and the proposed training project will be a higher priority for support. * Projects where skills development is provided to eligible Participants in a way that also aims to address the most acute issues identified in the IMD will also be a higher priority for support. * Applicants will also need to demonstrate how they plan to tailor their support for each area taking into account the differing demographics in the target audiences. Indicatively, the Local Action Group has allocated the following amount: PS175,000 ESF PS50,000 ERDF (enabling) ESF and ERDF investment in the CLLD target areas is intended to make a significant impact on local employment, skills and enterprise. The minimum application level for funding is PS15,000 All potential applicant organisations are encouraged to work together with other local partners to generate new ideas, approaches and develop joint proposals. Typically projects should plan to deliver activity for a minimum of 6 months and can plan to deliver up to June 2022. However, the LAG reserves the right to vary the minimum and maximum durations, upwards or downwards.
