PACE
Help is at hand for anyone facing a redundancy situation through the Scottish Government’s Partnership Action for Continuing Employment (PACE) initiative, which is coordinated by Skills Development Scotland in conjunction with other partners including Jobcentre Plus and Forth Valley College
The aim of PACE is to minimise the time people who are affected by redundancy are out of work, by providing skills development and employability support.
Forth Valley College has been working closely with PACE to help those affected by redundancy. PACE can help you to
- find your way back to work
- check what benefits you may be entitled to
- help with job seeking
- give access to job vacancy information
- construct powerful CVs and application forms
- prepare effectively for interviews
- identify future career and training options and the next steps
- provide information on a wide range of Government funded career and training options and the steps
- access a wide range of Government funded training in colleges, higher education institutions and training providers to improve your skills and increase your chances of finding work
- find out how to start up your own business
If you are an employer concerned about making redundancies you can also get advice and support from PACE. They will advise you on:
- identifying alternatives to redundancy
- maintaining and improving industrial relations
