CEDA PROJECTS
 
This document provides a framework for the delivery of CEDA’s activities for the operational year April 2005 to March 2006. This is complemented with up to date information regarding the availability of core and additional resources that will allow the Company to implement the detailed measures and pursue the planned activities.

Importantly the plan is designed to consolidate and reinforce progress achieved during the 04/05 period and contains a coherent set of actions designed to achieve this aim. Implicit within this is the requirement to monitor progress and evaluate the quality of service provision. Ultimately this is designed to ensure we deliver an effective service that maintains a clear client focus, encourages continuous improvement and achieves value for money.

 
Business Services Action Plan
Business Services Action Plan
The Business Services Team will provide a range of new and continuing services in the financial year 2005/06. Following the announcement by Scottish Enterprise that with effect from the first of April the team will no longer be responsible for promoting Investors in People within small companies the IiP team have been looking at alternative ways to continue to support small businesses. It is hoped that by providing workforce development training, to enable businesses to grow, the IiP work in progress (£50k) will be augmented. At present this type of training is provided by Glasgow Opportunities and Glasgow North, however, a case has been made to Scottish Enterprise Glasgow for a south side provision. The IiP team can deliver much of this training as they have both the skills and experience. Workforce development will cover a range of disciplines including management, marketing, H. R. and ICT.
 
Social Economy and Wider Action
Social Economy and Wider Action

Castlemilk’s social economy consists of upwards of forty organisations. The Social Economy Team will continue to maintain active relationships with all of them. These organisations continue to make a vital contribution towards Castlemilk’s ongoing regeneration. Recent research by the team has shown that over the past four years turnover in the sector has grown by 20% from £18M to around £22M, the number of full and part time staff employed has increased by 35% to almost 500, and of this total almost 40% are local residents.

Employability and Learning Team Action Plan
Learning and Employsbility

The Employability and Learning Team is responsible for the development and delivery of a range of comprehensive support services geared towards helping individuals obtain and sustain employment opportunities and employers, within the private, public and voluntary sectors, to match their vacancies to job ready individuals.

The team is aware that many clients will lack the skills or general education needed to do the jobs that are available, due to inadequate training or because their skills are redundant and/or they may have social problems which represent barriers to employment and training such as disability, alcoholism or homelessness.

Client Support Team Action Plan
Client Support Services
The Client Support Services Team provides a wide range of dedicated, specialist services to Castlemilk residents experiencing exclusion, in order to enable them to move on in their lives, becoming more economically active. This can include access to education, training, volunteering and employment opportunities, as appropriate to meet each individual’s needs. Our aim is to provide a tailored service, which meets users’, needs, as far as our collective resources allow, thereby, facilitating inclusion into the broader social and economic framework of both Castlemilk and the wider environment.

CEDA ILM Team Action Plan
 
CEDA ILM Team Action Plan
The CEDA ILM programme is an intermediate labour market programme designed to address exclusion by combating medium to long-term unemployment. Participants are paid a weekly wage and assisted to make the return to the traditional labour market through the provision of a comprehensive package of support. This package, which includes appropriate training, work placement and jobsearch support, is also designed to improve employability and tackle additional barriers to inclusion.
