Priority will be given to those participants who have progressed from stage 2 and referrals will be invited from all other Employability Fund
Providers in Moray. The service will also be promoted across Moray to the local Job Centre Advisors, SDS Careers and the Local Authority. Stage
3 provision will be targeted at participants who will undertake work placement/vocational activity and work focused training with an emphasis
being placed on a person centered approach that supports personal development, and up skilling. To provide applicants with the personal, life and
work skills necessary to enter employment in a sector of their choice, using an agreed personal training plan driven by their individual needs.
The individual training plan can comprise a mix of, pre-employment, vocational / work experience placements and core skills at the relevant level.
Vocational areas for work experience placements (up to 240hrs) we offer are Rural skills, Lands & parks maintenance, Retail, Administration,
Social Services & Healthcare, however, we will consider any other areas. All Participants will be encouraged and supported to make full use of
digital media allowing them to access 'My world of work' provided by Skills Development Scotland, 'Universal Job Match' provided by the DWP
and to search for job vacancies from appropriate recruitment sites, assistance with on line and paper based job applications and CV preparation.
Pre recruitment requirements such as PVG for the care sector will normally have to be completed before a placement can be started.
Employability and/or vocational qualification at SCQF level 4 will be offered and encouraged to participants at this stage and this will mean them
having to attend the centre one day a week, which can be continued even if they have moved into employment before achievement.
The objectives will will provide the participant with transferable skills to progress to Employment; to a Modern Apprenticeship or a more
advanced form of learning.
