Inclusiveness Project

Free training courses delivered in the Community

The Inclusiveness Project at South Lanarkshire College continues to deliver FREE employment-focused vocational training courses in outreach centres across South Lanarkshire for residents who have been unemployed for at least 3 months, and have encountered barriers to accessing employment.  To date, over 500 people have benefitted from the project thanks to a wide network of agencies working in partnership to support and progress participants into the world of work.

Courses

The accredited training programmes include intensive employability support and one-to-one assistance with progression into employment, training or further education.  Whilst helping individuals develop personal and vocational skills, the project supports employers with their recruitment and training needs by identifying current and projected skills shortages and customising training programmes to meet labour market demand.
