Greetings!

 

Welcome to the June edition of the FVA Employability e-bulletin! As always there is plenty happening.

 

We have the inside story on the new Opportunities Fife Partnership provision and an update on the Skills Development Scotland Employability Fund in Fife for 2015-16. Read more below AND....

 

Book your place at next week's Know Your Network to meet new and existing employability providers and much much more. With over 30 provider stalls and a whole host of participants it is becoming the place to find out who is doing what in employability in Fife. Don't miss out!

 

We would also like to highlight an important event next Tuesday 09 June. 'Designing Employment Support for People with Caring Responsibilities'. This unique workshop (hosted by Dr. Sue Newberry from Funding Ideas Ltd in partnership with Opportunities Fife Partnership) will help inform the development of local Employment Support Strategy for people with caring responsibilities.

 

The deadline for the next e-bulletin is Tuesday 30 June please send any contributions to Christine@fifevoluntaryaction.org.uk

 

All the best,
