Pulteneytown People’s Project - Stage 3

What do we offer at Stage 3?

You will undertake a 12 week programme where you will gain valuable work experience over 3 to 4 days per week. The placement will be with a local employer and could eventually lead into paid employment. You will also attend one training day per week working towards a qualification, which will be supported by your workplace experience.

Who can apply?

This programme is suitable for anyone who is aged 16+ and is not in education, training or employment. You may be lacking experience of the workplace which could be preventing you from getting a job, although you could be job-ready.

What can you achieve?

You will be working towards achieving a minimum of 18 SCQF Level 4 points (equivalent to National 4, Intermediate 1 or General Level Standard Grade) and also towards a Certificate of Work Readiness, supported by your work placement.

Can I get a training allowance?

You could receive a training allowance of £55 per week for taking part in the Employability Fund Programme or if you are registered with the Job Centre you could receive a training allowance equal to your DWP benefit allowance.
