A pilot scheme has been launched to help vulnerable
homeless people to access skills and training to get into work. The London
STRIVE (Skills, Training, Innovation and Employment) pre-employment programme
will initially work with 100 single homeless people over two years. The scheme
will aim to address key barriers to employment and over the course of a
programme designed with their particular needs in mind, participants will build
up their basic skills in IT, maths and English. Run by homelessness charities
Crisis and St Mungo’s Broadway, STRIVE will work alongside Jobcentre Plus to
identify those who would benefit most from the scheme. Read more on the Housing
Excellence website.
