Specialist Employability Support (SES)

3SC partners with the Royal National Colleague for the Blind (RNC) to deliver this Pan-UK contract and manages a supply chain in excess of 25 organisations. The programme is designed to assist people with Visual Impairments.

The programme is designed to assist the Customer groups identified above whom are at risk of exclusion from the job market to secure and sustain paid employment or self-employment. This is done through an individually tailored combination of guidance, learning in the workplace, work experience and training. This will include helping Customers to overcome barriers to enable them to either secure sustainable employment or to become suitable for wider provisions following intensive support.

Where employment is achieved, In Work Support (IWS) will be provided both to individuals and employers to ensure that the employment is sustained.

The duration of the support must vary to meet individual needs and opportunities must be made available across a wide range of skill levels. The aim is to support the Customer to move closer to, and become better equipped to compete in the job market (either via SES or a wider provision) by helping them to gain the skills and experience they need in order to obtain and sustain employment.
