Thriving Communities offer young people and adults aged 16+ employability support and training through a staged 1 – 5 pipeline.

Individuals are fully supported by their Thriving Communities Officers to progress through each stage of the employability pipeline, inline with their personalised action plan, to help work towards achieving their employment goals.

Stage 1

The programme gives individuals the opportunity to establish regular and positive routines, connect with others, develop basic employability skills and increase confidence. This is done through a wide range of group activities, one to one support and accredited learning. 

Stage 2

The programme gives individuals the opportunity to develop their work readiness skills through groupwork, one-to-one support, accredited learning and vocational work placements. 

Stage 3

The programme gives individuals the opportunity to develop their work readiness skills further through more enhanced accredited learning and work placement opportunities. 

Stage 4

At this stage individuals, who are job ready, are supported to progress into employment. We have a dedicated Employer Engagement team who work closely with local employers to identify any employment opportunities. Individuals, registered on our Positive Futures Programme, who have the relevant skills and experience required, are then matched to the job role. 

Stage 5

Individuals, who have progressed into employment, are supported through our aftercare support. Contact is made regularly, supporting individuals to sustain employment.
