New Disability Employment Programme Launches
Employment and Learning Minister, Dr Stephen Farry, today formally launched a new disability employment programme entitled Work Connect.
Work Connect is a specifically tailored disability employment programme designed to target some of the most disadvantaged clients currently receiving Incapacity Benefit (IB) or Employment Support Allowance (ESA) and help them secure work.
The Minister said: "Work Connect will support people with a diverse range of health conditions and disabilities through a variety of individually tailored interventions that will enhance their skills to progress into employment. The real strength of the programme is the individually tailored and specialist support based on each client’s specific needs."
The support on offer through Work Connect is enhanced by the wide range of quality specialist disability provision which is available through the respective organisations who have come together now as the new consortium, Supported Employment Solutions.
The Work Connect programme, offers an individually tailored programme providing pre-employment and short-term in-work support, as well as specific help with confidence building, job searching, motivation, work experience and short training personal development needs.
