DG Employment TAP – Directory of Services
The D&G LEP is piloting a new approach to our directory of services. We are now moving this directory over to a new platform called the Skills Training Network or STN. The STN has enhanced content and functions to allow individuals and referring agencies the ability to quickly find and apply for a range of employability programmes and support.
Regional employability referrals can also be made through this platform and is available to individuals 16-67 years of age.
If you would like to register your service on the Skills Training Network, please contact DGEmployability@dumgal.gov.uk
