| Annotation | The SWOOP Development Partnership is part funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) under the EQUAL Community Initiative Programme. This report summarises results of five projects characterised as skills and learning delivery projects on the SWOOP programme. Exeter CVS delivered work experience with voluntary organisations. Workwise was designed for unemployed people aged 50+ in Somerset, and provided guidance on IT, work experience and training. SEESAM (Self-Employment Entrepreneurship Support Advice and Mentoring) provided guidance and advice on business planning, initially to disabled people aged 45+, in Somerset and Dorset. It's About You offered workshops on life and career planning for older people in Dorset, Devon and Cornwall. Action for Blind People operates throughout the South West, training visually impaired people in the use of assistive technology to enhance employability. Quantitative performance measures are presented as bar charts and pie charts. (RH). |
