Ways into Work awarded Supported Employment Contract in West Berks

West Berkshire Council provide employment service to young people 

We are pleased to announce that Ways into Work have won the contract to continue our supported employment work in the West Berkshire area, working closely with valued partners particularly in the education sector. The contract funded by West Berkshire District Council will run for three years from July this year and its focus will be on supporting young people aged 16 to 25 who have an Education, Health & Care Plan, on their journey into employment.  
 
It’s really good to see that at a time when budgets are extremely tight for Local Authorities, and Supported Employment is not a mandatory service, that West Berkshire Council are investing in providing employment support … a service which parents and carers of young people with special educational needs really value. We are thrilled to be delivering an early intervention project in West Berks once again.

Information about the service will shortly be published on our website.
