Welcome to employability

This website has been designed as a practical guide for anyone who is involved in employability. We have produced it in response to your views and it is intended to help you understand what employability is, your role in it and how to design, deliver and measure the impact of employability approaches.

The Guide provides a range of information, insights and practical examples which will be useful for: funders of employability services; project/service managers from employability, regeneration, health and other related services; and practitioners and frontline workers involved in an array of different services.

This website is one element of the Employability Learning Network, which is facilitated by The Scottish Government.
