UHI Argyll’s Access to Work programme marks a completely new approach for Argyll and Bute. Developed in partnership with local employers, and funded through Argyll and Bute Council’s No One Left Behind employability fund, it is designed to support people who want to take their next step towards fair, sustainable employment.
The initiative combines sector specific training and qualifications with relevant work experience, and all participants will be supported through their journey with one-to-one coaching.
The programme focuses on three key areas of regional importance: Hospitality; Health and Social Care; and Marine & Maritime industries, including Aquaculture.
By aligning training and work placements with employers’ needs and labour market demand, it increases the likelihood of successful and sustainable employment outcomes for our participants.
Participants will be supported to achieve qualifications in college and can also spend a day a week in a relevant work placement. The programme offers flexible start and finish dates, with most participants completing it within three to six months.
Access to Work is open to anyone aged 16 to 66, who may be returning to the workforce after time away, those who are currently unemployed, and individuals facing barriers to employment.
