What is the Employability Pipeline?

The Strategic Skills Pipeline model has been developed as a framework to support the effective delivery of employability services. The pipeline is made up of 5 key stages, whereby the needs of the individual are considered in relation to existing soft skills, employability skills and skills requiring development.

How do I know which stage is right for me?

There are a number of informal assessments that training providers and partners referring you to the programme can do with you before deciding which stage is best to meet your needs. Depending on each individual's circumstances, some of the activities may apply to more than one stage.

Here is an overview of each stage, but further information can be found on the Employability in Scotland website.
