Genesis Cymru Wales 2

The main focus of the Genesis Cymru Wales 2 projects will be to support female lone parents who are economically inactive, but they also assist a number of other disadvantaged groups who may or may not also fit into this category, for example NEETs (those not in employment, education or training), including teenage parents.  For the Convergence areas only, employed people are eligible for support providing they have a work limiting health condition or disability.

The projects aim to increase labour market participation by identifying and providing support to individuals who are furthest away from the labour market.  This will be done by providing a package of easy to access client centred support including personal development and soft skills, thus enabling the projects to engage with individuals who may otherwise be excluded from training and economic activity opportunities.

Programme Targets

It is anticipated the programme will support 20,000 participants across both the Convergence and RCE areas – 15,000 participants in the Convergence area and 5,000 in the RCE area.
