The Welsh Government has launched a new programme which aims to help people living in households where no one is in work by offering training and linking up with employers to fill vacancies.

Called Lift, the programme is targeted at those who have spent more than six months out of work and is aimed at single parents, adults with few or no formal qualifications, people with poor employment records and disabled people.

Lift is being rolled out through Communities First ‘clusters’ in Anglesey, Carmarthenshire, Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Cardiff, Caerphilly, Blaenau Gwent and Flintshire. for more information, go to the Welsh Government website.
