COVID-19 business support and information
Work and training support
Find out how we and the government are supporting residents in work and training, including those who are 16 to 25 years old and people affected by redundancy.
The government is offering a range of programmes to help employers hire new employees or offer work experience, through apprenticeships, traineeships, industry placements and sector-based work academies.
Along with key partners within the borough and across London, we're providing support for jobs and training in the following ways:
Job and career support for adults of all ages
Southwark Works is a free employment support service for anyone living in Southwark and for businesses looking to recruit.
The Job Entry Targeted Support programme aims to help those recently unemployed return to work with the support of a dedicated employment coach. Residents must be registered with Jobcentre Plus and referred to the programme by their Jobcentre Plus Work Coach.
Job and career support for 16 to 25 year olds
We're linking young people in the borough with local opportunities to help them achieve a bright future. The initiative promotes opportunities available to 16 to 25 year olds in Southwark to help support them in employment and training. Sign up to get jobs, training, career support and more by email.
