Rapid Response to Redundancy (Working Links Ltd)

This project will offer participants practical help to overcome redundancy and get back to work quickly.

The emphasis is on boosting confidence by giving participants the necessary skills to succeed in today’s challenging labour market.  Participants will also have access to Working Links’ Employer Solutions Team who liaise with a wide range of businesses to identify opportunities.

There are three key target groups for this support:

  • Individuals who are under notice of redundancy and their employer organisations;
  • Individuals who are newly redundant;
  • Individuals who are unemployed but would be ready for employment after receiving this package of skills development support.

Successful outcomes would include completion of training, progression into work with further workplace training, an apprenticeship or Higher Education as appropriate, voluntary work or accredited learning achievements.

Rapid Response to Redundancy is one of three investments being made in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly as part of a national Response to Redundancy programme.
