Employment
Rinova and its consortium partners are
well-placed to assist SFA main contractors and DWP Prime
Contractors to implement the Employability and Welfare to Work
agenda. We combine innovation with experience and
insight, working in partnership with the private sector,
education, civil society organisations and the public sector to
bring to life real solution that address the 'black
box' approach. As well as supporting 'Primes' in large
scale employment initiatives arising from the DWP Employment
Related Support Services Framework we design and implement our
own partnership programmes.
We have worked to improve the sustainable employment
and employability of a wide range of groups in the labour market
for over 25 years. Our experience dates back to the
employment schemes set up by the Manpower Services Commission,
through local, regional, national and European employment
initiatives developed by TECs/LSCs, RDAs and Government
departments; through to the present day through programmes
funded by the Skills Funding Agency, ESF, the DWP, Greater London
Authority etc.
Through the integration of employability and skills
(e.g. apprenticeships) we also undertake new projects that are
targeted to support those who are excluded - or at risk or
exclusion - from the labour market due to issues of disadvantage,
including:
- Young people
- Older workers
- Lone parents and carers
- People with disabilities
- Minority communities
