Next Steps (Carnegie College) provides opportunities to identify personal skills, motivation and the knowledge required to make informed decisions. The project will provide a confidence building, job training, basic education, IT competency, literacy and life skills training programme to reflect the varied support needs of outlined participants.

Next Steps supports long term unemployed people in overcoming a range of barriers to access and pursue employment, further training or education. As examples, participants may have a history of drug and/or alcohol misuse (or have been affected by anothers), may have/had mild mental health issues and or physical illness or have experienced homelessness. Participants may be resident in a datazone area and/or may have family/relationship issues.
