Connect to Work is an employability support programme covering County Durham, Sunderland, Gateshead, Newcastle and North Tyneside designed to help individuals move closer to, or into, sustainable employment. The programme provides tailored, person‑centred support to people who may be unemployed and have long term physical or mental health conditions, disabilities or come form a disadvantaged background that make it harder to access work or training.
Participants receive one‑to‑one guidance from a dedicated advisor who works with them to identify goals, build confidence, and create a realistic pathway into employment. Support can include CV development, job searching, interview preparation, improving essential skills, exploring training opportunities, and addressing personal or practical barriers to work.
Connect to Work takes a holistic approach, recognising that everyone’s journey is different. The programme links participants with local services, employers, and training providers where appropriate, ensuring support is joined‑up and responsive to individual needs. The overall aim is to empower people with the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to progress towards meaningful employment and long‑term career success.
We meet individuals out in the community at a time and place that suits them for more information or to get support email ctw@triage.net or visit www.triage.net/connect-to-work
