Extra help for those facing redundancy has been announced. Additional European Social Fund funding of £1.4 million will provide resources for the Scottish Government's PACE (Partnership Action for Continuing Employment) initiative to help people facing redundancy.
PACE is Scotland's partnership initiative providing help to organisations and employees when an organisation is facing potential redundancy situations. This funding will provide early help for businesses who unfortunately have to make people redundant. It will ensure employees can go straight from one job to another where possible. Doubling the number of careers advisers working with companies will allow them to intervene early in redundancy situations, to help employees on site in their place of work before they are made unemployed.
The funding is expected to help an additional 4,600 individuals through a variety of support including individual career planning interviews, individual employability sessions, careers planning group sessions and registrations on the website.
Further information on the announcement can be obtained from the Scottish Government website.
