Description

SELAG03: Support and skills development for inactive / unemployed Young People (18-24) in Callington

SELAG recognises the lack of enquiries for projects working with young people in Callington. There is concern regarding stories of a rising drug issue in Callington and SELAG will welcome projects that also address this as part of an overall skills development project.
Projects are sought that demonstrate ability to engage with young local unemployed and economically inactive residents in eligible areas of Callington.

Projects will deliver a level of skills development relevant to the needs of participants and move them closer to the workforce. This may include addressing soft skills such as increasing confidence, raising aspiration and boosting self-esteem; accredited training; or anything in between. Following the intervention at least 50% of participants will be supported into further training, job seeking or employment.

We are looking for:
• Projects that demonstrate a link between local employers staffing needs and the proposed training project will be a higher priority for support.
• Projects where training is provided to eligible Participants in a way that also aims to address the most acute issues identified in the IMD will be a high priority for support.

Indicatively, the Local Action Group has allocated the following amount:
Skills (01 Participants):
£75,000
£20,000 ERDF (enabling)

ERDF and ESF investment in the CLLD target areas is intended to make a significant impact on local employment, skills and enterprise.
The minimum application level for funding is £15,000

All potential applicant organisations are encouraged to work with other local partners to generate new ideas, approaches and develop joint proposals.

Typically projects should plan to deliver activity for a minimum of 6 months and can plan to deliver up to June 2022. However, the LAG reserves the right to vary the minimum and maximum durations, upwards or downwards.
