Connect to Work is a government-funded employment programme delivered by Leicester City Council, in partnership with Leicestershire County Council and Rutland County Council. It helps individuals to overcome barriers to employment and move closer to finding meaningful, sustainable work.
Funded by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), it also provides support for those in work but at risk of losing their job, helping them to retain their employment.
It’s part of a national plan to help more people get into work by offering the right support, at the right time, in the right place.
If you or someone you know is struggling to find work or finding it difficult to stay in work because of a disability, long-term health condition or other barrier, Connect to Work can help. Let’s talk!
