Aberdeenshire Employability

What can the project offer me or someone I am working with?

The project works with young adults aged 16-67, who identify as disabled and/or a carer, who are post-school and may be experiencing multiple barriers to accessing work, learning, education, community engagement and volunteering. Our learners include school leavers. We will support learners to work on their self-defined goals and achieve their potential by developing key core skills and improving qualification profiles.

Learners will be supported with the following activities:

Confidence building
Core skills (literacy, numeracy, CV preparation, interview preparation)
Digital skills
Adult Achievement Awards (SCQF levels 2-6)
Other accredited courses

Along the way, learners will also improve their transferrable skills for the world of work including regular attendance, commitment, communication, listening skills and team working.

How do I refer myself, a family member or someone I am working with?
