Citizens’ Survey
 
As part of the range of employability support that the City of Edinburgh Council offers, they provide grant funding to organisations to support people to find and sustain training and employment. These grants target gaps in local and national services and focus on specialist services to best support Edinburgh citizens. These grants are due to expire on 31 March 2022. 

Additional funding from the Scottish Government is expected to be provided to the City of Edinburgh Council as part of the second phase of the No One Left Behind employability transformation in Scotland from 1 April 2022.

The Council need help from citizens to understand what would best support their needs and help them find, sustain and progress in employment or training. This is your chance to have your voice heard and help shape the future of your employability services.

The survey closes at 5pm on the Friday 2 July 2021. The information you provide on this survey will only be used to help the Council shape new services and will not be shared with any other party.
