Connect to Work is a national initiative helping people overcome barriers to employment or stay in work, with personalised, expert support.
In Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly it is being delivered through the People Hub, with funding from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
Connect to Work helps people find meaningful, long-term employment alongside personalised, one-to-one support.
