Employability & Tackling Poverty Learning Network

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

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

The site provides a range of information, insights and practical examples which will be useful for funders of services, project/service managers as well as  practitioners and frontline workers.
