Welsh Government employability programmes
Conwy Employment Hub runs the following Welsh Government employability programme.
Communities for Work Plus (CfW+)
CfW+ is a voluntary Welsh Government Funded Employability Programme. If you are unemployed or facing redundancy we provide intensive mentoring support to help people over the age of 16 to develop their confidence and their skills as well as to find and maintain employment.
UKSPF Conwy Key Funds
Conwy Employment Hub has been successful in securing funding from the UKSPF Conwy Key Funds to run the following programmes.
Young People's Employability Project
This project builds on the successful work the Hub has been doing with 16-19 year olds which focuses on helping and supporting this age group to develop lifelong skills while providing a clear path to employment.
Confidently You
This programme focuses on reducing social isolation; building resilience; increasing confidence/self-esteem; developing soft practical, financial, digital and employability skills while improving physical and mental health.
UK Shared Prosperity Fund for Training
The Hub has a schedule of training courses and pathways which have been funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and it is playing a crucial role in delivering vital jobs and education training academies across the county.
Conwy's Housing Support Grant
Conwy Employment Hub has been successful in drawing down funding from Conwy’s Housing Support Grant to pilot a dedicated Homeless Employment Mentor.
Homeless Employment Mentor
The Homeless Employment Mentor strengthens the Hub’s focus on supporting unemployed people with a range of housing issues. The Mentor is embedded within the Homeless Prevention Team to support people at risk of, or experiencing homelessness to help them overcome barriers to training, volunteering and employment.
Other employability programmes
Cynnydd Project
The Hub also works with and promotes the Cynnydd/Progress Scheme which is core funded by the Conwy Youth Service. This is a voluntary programme for young people aged 16-24 who are at risk of being Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET), and while it is similar to the Welsh Government’s Communities for Work Plus programme, it is for the young people that are most hard to reach to provide them with the best possible guidance, care and help to build a better future whatever they are facing.
