Employability Programmes

The One Family Programmes Service provides adult education and training to people parenting alone or sharing parenting. Our employability programmes are unique because they are specifically designed for lone parents who want to return to  education or work but are not sure where to start.

We understand the experience of parenting alone and sharing parenting and how challenging it can be to move back into education or find fulfilling employment.

The two programmes – New Steps Personal Development  and New Futures Employability – are free and provide lone parents with the skills and support they need to progress to education and employment. Everyone who participates in our programmes has access to regular one-to-one support and other wraparound family supports.
