## Summary

The Cornwall Development Company Ltd is currently in the planning stage for a tender titled "Work with larger employers across SELAG to identify recruitment gaps and train unemployed/inactive people to fill them." This initiative falls under the training services industry category and aims to engage with larger employers in the SELAG area, such as Ginsters and St Austell Brewery. The engagement end date is set for 28th June 2019, and prospective applicants are encouraged to submit projects that align with local employment needs, particularly those tailored to support the unemployed and inactive populations in the region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations that can demonstrate a strategic approach to linking employer staffing needs with relevant training initiatives. Businesses specialising in training services, particularly those focused on soft skills development, accredited training, or engaging with disadvantaged groups, would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, local partnerships are encouraged to bolster the impact of proposals, which must include a minimum funding application level of £15,000, with an indicative total funding pool of £250,000 available from the ESF and ERDF programmes to drive community-led development in the area.

## Notice

SELAG05: Meeting larger employers' recruitment needs through training for inactive / unemployed people across SELAG There are a number of larger employers across the SELAG area, e.g. Ginsters, St Austell Brewery etc. and, considering the UK average staff turnover is approximately 15%, this presents an opportunity for residents in Core areas to develop skills with a view to gaining employment. Projects are sought that demonstrate ability to engage with larger employers and understand their recruitment needs. This will lead to the development of relevant training for Participants in Core areas. Methods for engaging with eligible Participants will also need to be demonstrated. Projects will deliver a level of 'training' relevant to the needs of participants and support them into potential employment with the partner employer organisations. 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. It is possible that wage subsidies can be utilised to help engage employers and mitigate any perceived risk of employing somebody from disadvantaged circumstances, e.g somebody with a disability or who may be long-term unemployed. * We are looking for: Projects that demonstrate an ability to act strategically linking employers staffing needs with courses for local Participants. * Projects that take Participants' wider development needs into account and find solutions to address them. Indicatively, the Local Action Group has allocated the following amount: PS200,000 ESF PS50,000 ERDF (enabling) ERDF and ESF 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 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.
