This project aims to improve the employability and skills of unemployed people and to tackle barriers to work faced by people with disabilities or health conditions; lone parents; people aged 50 and over; ethnic minorities and people with no or low qualifications.  Cornwall Works Plus will provide an individual pathway to employment for each participant rather than adopt a one-size-fits-all approach.
