In-Work Progression Support Coming Soon!
The Greater Manchester In Work Progression Service supports residents who are in work but on a low-income household to progress into more skilled and/or better paid work or increase their hours. The service provides personalised, one-to-one holistic advice and support to help participants overcome practical barriers to progression into better quality or better paid roles, either with the same or a different employer/sector. The £4 million programme is part-funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
