Employability Provision (Start date 1 October 2009)
18 month project - £102,503 (100% funded by FSF)
The employability service will operate until March 2011 to deliver a tailor made keyworker service to individuals most distanced from the labour market. Individuals who due to the barriers they face are unable to access other mainstream employment provision such as Get Ready for Work, New Deal etc.
The service is open to all individuals in Moray aged 16+. There will be an element of targeted delivery at the top five most disadvantaged areas in Moray. The barriers faced by individuals eligible for this service will include substance misuse, offending behaviour, mental health issues, lone parents, low attainment and disabilities.
The service will also contribute to the development of a greater integrated approach to employability delivery in Moray.

The Moray Assisted Recruitment Scheme, currently under development, is a two year supported apprenticeship scheme for vulnerable young people aged 16-24. The scheme will provide young people the opportunity of two years full employment combined with industry recognised training (SVQ 2 or 3). A match funding package has been created which includes Future Jobs Fund, ESF Priority 2 and Fairer Scotland Fund.
Thirty places are on offer and to date 38 employers from a number of sectors have committed to providing employment for a further year following the end of the project.
A multi-agency management group will be formed to provide ongoing monitoring of the project and a development officer will be recruited to provide support to the young people and the employers throughout the two year duration.
The project is due to start on 1 May 2010 following confirmation of match funding.
