East Lothian Council is utilising the Scottish Government’s Parental Employability Support (PES) initiative to support parents in local communities to progress through all stages of the Strategic Skills Pipeline into work and addresses in-work poverty. PES will provide person-centred help for parents to address their barriers to work, which might include a lack of skills or work experience, health support, money advice, or motivational support. PES will help in meeting the increasing challenge of in-work poverty, targeting support to help parents already in jobs support through the provision of training and employability.
