Connect to Work North Wales is a programme designed to help people move closer to employment, training, or education by offering tailored, practical support that responds to individual needs.
Across North Wales, many people face different barriers when it comes to finding and staying in work — whether that’s long-term unemployment, health challenges, lack of confidence, or needing new skills to take the next step in their career. Connect to Work has been created to help break down those barriers and provide a clear, supportive pathway forward.
Delivered in partnership across local authorities and employability services, the programme focuses on personalised guidance rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. That means working closely with individuals to understand their goals, build confidence, and create realistic plans to get into sustainable work or meaningful training opportunities.
Support can include help with CV writing, interview preparation, accessing training courses, wellbeing support, and connecting people directly with local employers who are looking for talent. It also works alongside existing services, ensuring people can access the right help at the right time without being left to navigate the system alone.
In North Wales, the programme is part of a wider effort to strengthen communities and local economies by improving access to employment and helping businesses find the skilled workers they need.
In this podcast, we’ll discuss how Connect to Work North Wales operates on the ground and how it can help you if you're facing a barrier. Gary from Connect to Work talks to Simon.
Whether you’re looking for work, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in how local employment services are evolving, this series will shine a light on a programme built around opportunity, confidence, and second chances.
