Pathway Group has been successful in its bid as a delivery partner to deliver ESF Skills Support in the Greater Manchester Area for small and medium sized businesses.

The Skills Support for the Workforce project is targeting employers within the Greater Manchester Area that employ less than 250 staff.

Target people for this scheme are:

Young people aged 19-24
Participants who don’t have qualifications above level 2.
Participants with Basic Skill needs
Participants without Basic Skill
Those who are low paid individuals claiming Working tax Credits
