City of Edinburgh Council Procured Employability and Childcare Services

Survey for Edinburgh's employability providers

PART 1

Over the last six years, the City of Edinburgh Council have commissioned a city-wide employability provision (the Integrated Employability Service). This service has been based in hubs across the city, providing a service to clients looking to progress through the Strategic Skills Pipeline.

With the changing landscape in Edinburgh, the Council feels it is important to analyse the needs of clients and the services which will best suit client needs.

To enable this, the Council is going through a period of co-production, including feedback from key stakeholders, service providers and staff. As such, we would appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey which will help inform future service delivery.

Running in tandem with this, is the review of the subsidised childcare contracts. There is a short survey at the end which focuses on this area.

For information which may help inform your answers, please see the following report which provides a summary of employability-related data.
