Challenge Fund 2024-2029 – Challenge Fund 2024-2029 – Discover Work (discoverworkdundee.co.uk)
On behalf of Discover Work, Dundee City Council is delighted to launch this latest Challenge Fund and is inviting applications to deliver support in a new Employability Pathway programme for five years from 1 April 2024.
The value of the fund is estimated to be £2.6m per annum and is open to eligible organisations who want to realise the strategic vision and goals set out in Discover Work Strategy 2022-2027 and support our Community Wealth Building approach to economic development. We wish to build upon improvements to date with further funding due to be devolved from Scottish Government to Local Employability Partnerships via No One Left Behind.
Our aim is to remove structural inequalities experienced by residents that prevent their access to employability support, and their potential participation and sustainment in education, training, or employment. We ask the network of potential Employability Providers and wider partner organisations to maximise this opportunity for system change and rethink the way we work for the benefit of customers and employers.
A timetable for the advertisement, application, and assessment process is provided in the link above. All other information is provided in the Challenge Fund Application Pack. Organisations can request a copy of the Application Pack by emailing partnership@discoverworkdundee.co.uk.
