Employability and Inclusion

The Northumberland County Council Employability and Inclusion team works with other Council services, including Northumberland Skills and Advance Northumberland, partner organisations and funders to develop and deliver a range of employment and skills programmes. These may be for those who are moving into work, looking to retain a job or progress in work, changing jobs, looking to improve skills, or are returning to the labour market.

Working in partnership

By working with a variety of delivery partners in the voluntary and community, public and private sectors, programmes can offer support to meet a wide range of needs. The links below give further information. To discuss the work of the team please contact: employabilityandinclusion@northumberland.gov.uk

Northumberland Employment and Skills Partnership

The Council’s Employment and Inclusion team in Economy and Regeneration is working with the North East Combined Authority and partner Councils (Newcastle and North Tyneside) to manage local employment partnerships as a coordinated approach to make sure residents get access to the support they need to progress into good quality work and boost our local economies.

Northumberland Employment Partnership

The Northumberland Employment Partnership project, funded by the North East Combined Authority (North East CA), and working with Newcastle and North Tyneside Councils, brings together organisations to support residents and local employers to upskill the workforce and for residents to move into good quality work.

Northumberland Employability Network

The Northumberland Employability Network was established to share intelligence about delivery of employability and skills support services across sectors, and identify opportunities to develop a collaborative approach, to improve coordination and alignment to increase the number of residents supported to raise their skill levels and move into good work.

Northumberland Inclusive Economy Community Partnership

The Northumberland Inclusive Economy Community Partnership oversees a new fund of £1.5 million, secured by Northumberland County Council to support the work of the voluntary and community sector in the South East of the county.

Labour Market Intelligence

The employability and Inclusion Team gathers, monitors, and disseminates a range of labour market intelligence and analyses, including employment trends, vacancies, demographics, and skills supply and demand data. This is to help providers and employers to understand the labour market and issues across local economies and enable them to provide what the labour market needs to grow and become more inclusive.
