This initiative falls under the higher education services industry category, with specific focus on training and skills development. The current stage of the procurement process is planning, with an engagement end date set for 12 February 2021. The total grant funding amount available for projects is £161,500, sourced from the European Social Fund, with a minimum project cost of £50,000 required for applicants. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in training, confidence building, and skills development, particularly those aiming to support individuals who have been adversely affected by the pandemic, including those from hospitality, arts, retail, and tourism sectors, as well as people over 50 or with disabilities. Businesses that have a strong connection with local employers or that employ an individual-led approach to enhance employability would be particularly well-suited to compete for this project, which encourages collaboration and aims to foster the transition of workforce candidates into new employment opportunities. ## Notice CLLD is launching a new call to facilitate the transition of those workers who were affected by COVID-19 and have lost their job or those are looking to return to work after a period of unemployment. We recognise there are particular challenges faced by people who worked in the hospitality, arts, retail and tourism sectors and also would like to see a particular focus on those who are over 50 or have disabilities. The call is to offer training, confidence building, and skills development that will enable these now out-of-work individuals to either: 1. Re-skill or up-skill in order to promptly pivot to new sectors and/or 2. to pro-actively prepare for the new post-COVID-19 workplace This call is relevant to you if your organisation provides support for people to increase confidence and aspiration and/or training in skills development towards employability and can support people through an individual-led approach into further training or employment. You may also have links with local employers with routes into employment.
