Advancing equality of opportunity in the labour market, and reducing social isolation are key drivers for this programme and participants should be given the opportunity to access person-centred, one-to-one support via a Key Worker model, to enable them to participate in activities which have a positive impact on their life, address personal challenges and needs, and improve their life chances. The delivery model should offer a varied menu of engaging interventions which will address the most significant or pressing barriers that a participant is facing and help them on their pathway into employment (where this is right for the individual), education/training or further ongoing support. Ongoing community engagement and integration is a crucial aspect of this programme, as well as collaboration and partnership working with Stockport Council and other key local stakeholders, in order to support residents needs and ambitions.
