CCP is the strategic partner for the FSF improving employability priority and the majority of its investment is in services that support people towards and into work.

In 2009-10 the Partnership will seek to enhance the services available for young people and support resilience in employability services at a time of economic uncertainty.  We are in discussion with the providers listed below to deliver the services described.
