What Kind of Support will Gateway Education provide?

Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG)

  • A tailored individual support package to each participant, which will include mentoring and/or face to face coaching to employees through the Personal Advisers who all have IAG qualifications. The support package will address each participant’s assessed needs and will include focusing on increasing skills levels and working with employers to determine different progression opportunities, or providing Personal Adviser support to build confidence and motivation.
  • Initial assessment will be carried out to address the participant’s current situation, i.e. housing, work history and ‘Better off Calculations’ and understand why the participant has remained in low-paid employment.
  • A range of personalised progression outcomes will be agreed with wage progression always the primary goal. An individual progression plan (ILP) mapping out how to achieve the progression will be agreed with the participant resulting in an action plan and an agreed time frame.
