Employment as economic development

Local authorities are under increasing pressure to demonstrate economic development outcomes, reduce unemployment and create sustainable employment pathways for residents. HighViz Training works with local authorities to design and deliver employer-led employment programmes that align with your economic development priorities, your community benefit commitments and your workforce development objectives.

Construction is our established specialism, with a proven track record of supporting people into construction employment. Our employer-led model is now extending into hospitality and other sectors where genuine entry-level vacancies exist.

We work with local authorities to understand their reporting, procurement and stakeholder requirements and shape delivery accordingly.

How HighViz Training supports local authorities

Employment progression outcomes

We create measurable employer-led pathways designed to support progression towards entry-level employment and demonstrate progress against your economic development strategy and key performance indicators.

Unemployment reduction

Our programmes target adults who are furthest from the labour market, helping to reduce long-term unemployment and economic inactivity in your area.

Community benefit in contracts

We can work with local authority employability, economic development and procurement teams to support employment and community benefit objectives linked to public contracts.

Complementing existing employability support

We work alongside existing employability provision to ensure our programmes complement and add value to the support already available in your area, avoiding duplication.

Outcome reporting and evidence

We provide detailed outcome data to support your reporting requirements, including qualification milestones, employer engagement and verified progression where achieved.

Flexible and responsive delivery

We adapt our programmes to meet the specific needs of your area, your resident profile and your organisational priorities — across construction, hospitality and other appropriate sectors.

Partnership meeting for construction employment programmes

Working in partnership

We begin by meeting with your economic development, employability or community benefit team to understand your priorities and the specific challenges facing residents in your area.

We then design a programme that fits your context — whether that is a standalone construction employability programme, a community benefit initiative linked to a specific development project, or an ongoing partnership to support residents into construction employment.

Where included within the commissioned model, HighViz Training can manage delivery, employer engagement, participant preparation and progression reporting, keeping your team informed throughout and providing the evidence you need to demonstrate outcomes.
