The provider will be able to propose the development of innovative engagement methodologies to ensure that equality of opportunity is achieved within the programme. The successful supplier will be able to conduct robust programme eligibility processes and propose an individual needs assessment process to ensure that beneficiaries are eligible and will also benefit fully from the programme. The successful supplier will detail how they will develop a bespoke set support to improve confidence skills, job search, and financial capability and achieve progress toward employment.
