Description

DurhamWorks is looking to develop a Provider Panel which can deliver tailored bespoke support to 16-24 year old participants who are Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET)/unemployed with a specific focus of progressing participants into paid employment. Other outcomes may be fundable, these will be defined in each competed call-off.
Providers may be organisations registered outside County Durham and the opportunities for progression can be outside of County Durham with suitable transport links. This initial opening of the Provider Panel is for Providers to gain membership to the Provider Panel only. This Provider Panel offers no form of exclusivity or guaranteed work. Competed Call-Offs will be released to the successful Panel Members. DurhamWorks has been created as the vehicle to deliver the learning, training, employment, support, and development activities which are funded under European Social Fund (ESF) and Youth Employment Initiative (YEI) funding.
