Our Objective:
Our objective is to create and maintain a distribution list representing all stakeholders in the citywide Discover Work Service and to invite Partners to participate in the Discover Work Network Delivery Group, if not already a member.
The Discover Work Service represents all resources of employability support delivered in Dundee, including those funded and delivered by members of the Discover Work Partnership. Amongst others, existing employability support within the Discover Work Service includes Fair Start Scotland, Employment Support Service and an Employability Pathway funded by a pool of resources between Dundee City Council, Employability Providers, No One Left Behind and the European Social Fund.
