Details

To help achieve a more streamlined and co-ordinated approach, this call brings together Investment Priorities 1.1, 1.2 and 1.4 into one “merged” call. Applicants are required to deliver and report on activities relating to each of the specific objectives and their associated outputs and results by Investment Priority category.

Applicants will be required to specifically engage those priority groups furthest from the labour market, by updating skills, widening employment options and developing holistic packages of support to support individuals into work.

Project activity must be easily accessible across the whole sub-region and therefore take account of the mixed geography of Cheshire and Warrington.
