Focus from the Outset provides tailored support to unemployed or inactive individuals who want to develop personal skills, build confidence, and be inspired to return to education or training, active job search, and employment (including self-employment)

Individuals work with a personal advisor to develop a bespoke plan of 1:1 coaching support and participation in small group sessions. Each individual can choose the sessions that are most appropriate for their needs.
