West Northamptonshire Council is proud to lead the Connect to Work Programme as the Accountable Body for the South Midlands region.
Connect to Work is a voluntary employment support programme launched by the UK Government as part of the Get Britain Working Strategy. It is designed to help people who face barriers to employment - such as health conditions, disabilities, or specific disadvantages - find and stay in meaningful work.
The Programme is being delivered across the region by the South Midlands Authorities Group made up of Bedford Borough Council, Central Bedfordshire Council, Luton Council, Milton Keynes Council, North Northamptonshire Council and West Northamptonshire Council.
Whether you are looking to return to work, start a new career, or gain the skills and confidence to take your next step, Connect to Work is here to support you.
