What they offer
This pilot project will assist South Tyneside residents, who are economically inactive, unemployed, or NEET to access a vocational skills pathway leading to employment in Advanced Manufacturing. The innovative approach seeks to be self-sustaining and support equivalent best-practice pathways in other sectors, including Construction and Health.
Project Aims
The IPAM-ST pilot aims to address the challenges presented by a long-term cycle of unemployment and economic inactivity. It will provide residents with assistance to access jobs with local employers in the advanced manufacturing sector, delivering multiple benefits:
- Providing residents with good jobs and income security, a positive economic benefit to the wider local economy.
- Breaking a cycle of long-term worklessness, and benefit dependency, mitigating associated health-related issues and demands on local health and social services.
- Meeting the skills needs of Advanced Manufacturing employers by improving the supply of work-ready candidates for entry-level roles.
- Establishing deeper systemic insight into local economic inactivity and socio-economic barriers, building stronger partnerships between employers and local government agencies helping inform further employability programmes, across all sectors.
- Making sure employers' HR policies, recruitment and working practices support and integrate these economically inactive residents.
