Connect to Work

Help us to shape the delivery of Connect to Work

“If only there was an opportunity to shape the big national programmes that could support my organisation and my residents.”

Do you work with residents?

Do your communities face barriers to employment?

Connect to Work is the new Government Employment Support scheme to support residents in your area. Its aim is to help the hidden unemployed and support their journey into good work.We need your help to make it a success.

If you were unable to attend one of our engagement sessions to help shape the specification of this new provision in South London, please take a look at the slides below and have your say by completing our online survey.

This is your opportunity to tell us:

  • What do your unemployed, hidden unemployed, economically inactive or in work residents need to get into and maintain good work?
  • What has or hasn’t worked in previous programmes?
  • How can this provision help you and the residents you support?
  • How can it complement and support what you already deliver?
  • What does good integration look like? How can ‘new’ provision integrate with the fantastic work already on patch?
