Orkney Employability Partnership

The purpose of the Orkney Employability Partnership is to enable collective leadership and shared commitment across partners to effectively implement the policy intent for a more aligned approach to national and local employability support in Orkney, reflecting the need to deliver a more coherent employability provision locally, in line with the Local Outcome Improvement Plan aligned to the National performance Framework.

The partnership recognises that supporting people, especially those who are most vulnerable, into fair and sustainable employment is central to delivering many of the ambitions for an inclusive, sustainable economy with wellbeing at its core

The partnership will build on the strengths of existing national and local services, to better align funding and to improve the integration of employability services with other support to ensure that services are designed and delivered around the needs and aspirations of those using our services.
