Essential Steps to Employability

Essential Steps to Employability is funded by Sunderland City Council
through the Working Neighbourhoods Fund

EBC has been working with key partners including NECA, NERAF and Norcare to develop a programme which provides clients supported by those organisations with opportunities to take part in activities which will help to develop a range of key employability and social skills.

Activities have been designed to provide fun-based, hands-on learning and skills development which will complement the vital support they already get from our partner organisations such as yours.

Essential Steps to Employability has been developed in partnership between EBC and senior managers the key organisations in the city supporting clients with issues around homelessness, substance and alcohol misuse. In recent months we have worked with clients from these organisations to ‘trial’ some of the activities not built into Essential Steps to Employability

Essential Steps to Employability offers a wide range of activities from two days of activities to longer term programmes providing the opportunity to your clients to secure accredited qualifications. Delivery of all programmes is flexible - to meet the needs of your clients and we are relying upon you to give us your expert
guidance.

All activities are designed to develop key employability skills in the most vulnerable people you work with - required both by employers and in day-to-day living.

Equally importantly they have the chance to succeed and shine, interact socially, draw upon their life experiences in a positive way and to regain their feeling of self worth through positive achievements in a non-threatening setting.

Inside this leaflet are brief outlines of the different activities developed to be delivered to our partners’ clients through Essential Steps to Employability.

We are sure there is something of interest to you and your clients and look forward to hearing from you.
