More Scottish Government jobs will be made available to individuals who face increased barriers to employment.
Speaking at the Welfare to Work Convention in Stirling the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning, Fiona Hyslop, announced that she had signed the Scottish Government's first ever Local Employment Partnership (LEP) with Jobcentre Plus.
Through the LEP the Scottish Government will put in place a number of measures to help support benefit claimants into work. Such measures might include pre-employment training, mentoring opportunities, supported placements through Get Ready for Work, and a review of their recruitment and selection methodologies to help make job opportunities in the Scottish Government more accessible to young people and adults further from the labour market.
