East Glasgow Community Health and Care Partnership - Care Accolades 2009 winner

East Glasgow Community Health and Care Partnership (CHCP) Pathways to Progression won the best involvement of the local community award.

This partnership of East Glasgow Community Health and Care Partnership (CHCP), John Wheatley College and Gera builds on the role of the CHCP as a provider of high quality health and care jobs. By providing a supported pathway that enables local unemployed people to gain the skills and qualifications necessary for sustainable employment beyond entry-level, the project:

- recruits participants
- enables them to undertake an HNC in Health Care whilst working within the CHCP
- provides ongoing support for individuals who experience difficulties sustaining training and employment
- helps them compete for vacancies in the CHCP or consider options elsewhere in the Glasgow area.

The Care Accolades organised by the Scottish Social Services Council in partnership with the Scottish Government is an important event which provides the sector with the opportunity to promote an exciting and imaginative range of projects and good practice with other social service organisations.
