Employment Support

Providing jobs for local people is a task that requires a co-ordinated approach by the Council and a range of other agencies. There are a range of organisations which offer employment support such as:

Workways

Workways+ offers training and paid work experience opportunities to long-term unemployed people to help get their lives back on track. Backed by £7.5 million of EU funds, the three-year scheme will benefit people in Neath Port Talbot, Swansea, Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion. The remainder of the funding will be provided by the South West Wales local authorities involved in delivering Workways+. For more information on the project and how to get support go to: http://www.workways.wales/
