In partnership with Adviza and The Building Futures programme, the HLC offers employment and training services, we focussed on changing the lives of adults and young people across Buckinghamshire.

The project has a particular focus on:

• people who are long-term unemployed and from workless households and families
• people aged over-50 who are long-term unemployed or have been made redundant
• people with learning difficulties, disabilities or long-term physical or mental health issues
• disengaged NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) young people and those at risk of becoming NEET, aged 15-25
• black minority and minority ethnic community.

The key elements to move them closer to learning or work will include:

• a personalised action plan and support package based on their needs
• dedicated support from a Keyworker throughout their action plan
• a range of activities to build confidence, skills and motivation to sustain learning or work with training
• employability support including CV writing, job applications and interview/presentation skills
• support for improving English language skills (where required) and breaking down cultural barriers to entering work and learning
• access to work and volunteering opportunities
• advice on benefits and financial management and childcare support
