Project to help people into work launched by the Council

Tackling poverty by helping people into work was the focus of a special launch event.

The Council has launched Working Denbighshire which includes the OPUS, ADTRAC and Communities for Work projects.

They support residents aged 16 and over who are furthest from the work market back into education, employment and training, all of which are key priorities within the Council’s new Corporate Plan.

The event showcased the projects to more than 100 attendees from relevant organisations, providing information about employability support.

Councillor Hugh Evans OBE, Leader of the Council, said: “We are committed to a new approach to developing and building resilient communities across the most deprived areas, with a focus on tackling poverty through providing support that helps people into work, removes barriers into employment and gives children the best start in life.

“As part of the priorities contained within our Corporate Plan, we aim to offer the chance to develop skills for life and work, ensuring Denbighshire is a place residents and businesses are well connected and resilient and have opportunities to acquire skills and jobs, leading to successful and fulfilling lives.”

ADTRAC, Communities For Work and OPUS are part-funded by the European Social Fund through the Welsh Government.

Mark Drakeford, Welsh Government finance secretary, said: “The Welsh Government is determined to help people to access the skills and training they need to get a good-quality job. These projects are further examples of how important European funding has been to Wales and show how important it will be for the UK Government to ensure replacement funding is available post Brexit so we can continue supporting people, helping them secure a prosperous future.”
