The Employability Pipeline is a new project that supports people into work. If you live in Perth & Kinross and have serious barriers to finding work, such as being long-term unemployed, a young school leaver or coming from a jobless household, you can find support from a wide variety of organisations.
There are 5 stages on the pipeline, which means you will be supported through the whole process. There is a network of Employability providers who can offer you this support.
What kind of support can you get from these organisations?

• interview techniques and help with CV writing
• training and work skills
• skills academies
