Economically inactive residents who are aged 16 or over, live in Sheffield, and have the right to live and work in the UK are eligible to join the Pathways to Work.
Keyworkers can also work with unemployed residents (i.e. claiming UC/JSA via the Jobcentre) who are at risk of social exclusion and would benefit from additional community-based support.
Referrals are invited via pathways[at]gcemployment.uk.
