Invitation to a Pre-market Engagement Session for Connect to Work - Wednesday 12 November
Hartlepool Borough Council, in collaboration with the other four Tees Valley local authorities and the Tees Valley Combined Authority, invites you to a Pre-Market Engagement Session to explore upcoming opportunities within the Tees Valley Connect to Work Programme. This event will bring together key partners, stakeholders, and interested organisations to provide an overview of the programme and outline the proposed commissioning approach. It's a valuable opportunity to engage early and help shape the future delivery of employment support across the Tees Valley.
About the programme
Connect to Work is a voluntary local supported employment programme launched by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and funded by the UK Government. It is designed to support disabled people or people with health conditions, and individuals with complex barriers to move into and maintain employment
It will also provide support to those in work but at risk of losing their employment, helping them to retain their jobs. The programme will offer tailored support to help eligible participants find and sustain meaningful employment.
What to expect at the event
Attendees will gain insight into:
- the programme's aims and objectives
- proposed delivery models
- our proposed commissioning approach
A full agenda will be shared in advance of the Pre-Market Engagement Session.
