57. Pathways to Work
New Opportunities for Employers

58. We have been given a mandate to change and we are
changing .with a dual focus
“Put simply, no-one who loses
his/her job should be allowed to
drift, with no support, into long
term unemployment. “
“To assist employers in recruiting
employees from the Live Register
and to incentivise employers to
offer opportunities to unemployed
people – particularly
long-term unemployed people.”

59. A change that is as focussed on employers as it is on
unemployed people

60. And one that can deliver real benefit to employers. - Access to
a real talent pool

61. Through on-line and personalised service

62. With innovative financial supports

63. That can deliver real savings to employers
