The Employability Pipeline
The Scottish Government has worked with its partners to develop an “Employability Pipeline” for organisations to identify and then meet the different needs different people have at different stages in their journey into work. Whilst recognising that for individuals, the journey towards and into work is not a linear process, the pipeline concept provides a framework for the organisation and delivery of services to unemployed people in Dumfries & Galloway.
