Current Projects

·The Engage Partnership – a highly innovative forum of over 28 employment support agencies. The members work together to increase the number of unemployed disadvantaged residents accessing sustainable employment through tailored training, mentoring, placement and employment initiatives. To compliment the outputs of each agency, the Engage Partnership has been directly responsible for generating over 250 vacancies.

For any agency or organisation wishing to join the Partnership it would be worthwhile taking a look at the Forum meeting evaluation data to get an insight into the value membership offers.

After the initial six months of operation an independent evaluation was carried out on the Engage Partnership, formerly the Operational Employer Engagement Group. The point of the evaluation was to determine whether the initiative was really working in practice and get some empirical evidence to prove that the impossible was possible. The impossible being highly competitive agencies working collaboratively to improve the effectiveness of their employer engagement!

A key element of successful employer engagement involves raising the profile of your organisation in the media and getting positive coverage of your service.

The Engage Partnership teamed up with The Argus to design a PR referral form, which covers the salient information a journalist would require to cover a story. Please feel free to download this form below.

During the first six months of it's existence the Engage Partnership, formerly the Operational Employer Engagement Group, commissioned some independent research into the success of the initiative.

To read the research findings please download the below document.

There is a plethora of different forms used by employment support agencies carrying out health & safety work place inspections. Not only does the quality significantly vary but the questions are often presented in a way that employers find hard to understand. Employers expressed their frustrations over having to complete similar yet not identical forms time and time again throughout the year and shared a desire to have one universal form.

This form was created to simplify the information supplied by an employer wishing to advertise either a work placement or employment opportunity.

The form was designed to capture essential information supplied from the employer covering their skills requirements for a work placement or paid employment.
