The 14 – 16 year old Vocational Curriculum team working with the secondary schools in the county, and the Outreach Youth Work Team, who are targeting the 16 – 19 year old young people who are Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) within the county.

Further European Funding support for the Third Sector Third sector organisations seeking advice on European funding in relation to the PQQ for the Small Scale Activities programme, such as eligibility of expenditure, match funding etc, should contact WCVA's third sector European Team (3-SET) or a Spatial European Team (SET) Officer. Local Supplier Development Champions are also on hand to assist in preparing your PQQ and tender submissions and putting in place the relevant policies and procedures required by the contracting authority. Latest tendering opportunities Through the Convergence European Funding Programme the focus is on funding larger, more strategic projects which will therefore be fewer in number than those funded through the Objective One programme. This means that there are fewer direct funding opportunities for smaller, third sector organisations. However the successful larger projects are breaking down some of the components of the activity into contracts which are being advertised out through Sell2Wales. This is where the opportunities for smaller organisations will exist through this programme. Please make sure that you register with Sell2Wales - https://www.sell2wales.co.uk/ to be notified of any opportunities which may be relevant for your organisation. -------------------- PLEASE NOTE: Opportunities are posted in date order of the closing date with the earliest opportunities appearing first.

The Intermediate Labour Market https://www.sell2wales.co.uk/notices/display.html?NoticeId=21848 Closing Date – 25 February 2011
WCVA is inviting expressions of interest again from organisations who would like to develop and submit proposals to deliver high quality activities and opportunities for economically inactive and unemployed individuals that will result in positive outcomes for those individuals. This will be through the submission of a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire. Organisations that are already on the approved supplier list for the Competitiveness (RCE) area do not need to re-apply, unless they are applying for areas or target groups they were not approved for in the first instance.
The ILM project aims to reduce economic inactivity in East Wales by investing in organisations to provide work experience and training for people facing barriers to employment. It will contract with organisations that engage with economically inactive people, many of whom will have multiple barriers; and prepare them for employment through the use of a range of activities that build their confidence and skills to move towards sustainable employment. The ILM will encourage organisations to adhere to the principles of a work progression model, which emphasises the development of the individual, not just to equip them for today’s job, but also to provide them with the skills to compete in a ever changing labour market. All suppliers will need to demonstrate that they engage with those furthest from the labour market in order to give participants new skills and increased confidence that will enable them to become economically active, and which will also lead to greater social cohesion and sustainable development in the most disadvantaged communities in East Wales.
