  • Provide an interface between local community organisations and agencies, including local authorities and central government organisations, business and local authorities

  • Recognise and complement employment objectives in Local Authority Annual and Strategic Plans where they exist

  • Tailor-make interventions that provide solutions specific to each region that are also measurable quality programmes

  • Enable higher levels of resource leveraging through participation in local communities and Territorial Local Authorities in programme design and implementation

  • Ensure that resources are appropriately allocated to regional needs

  • Ensure that the proposed work is meaningful to the individual concerned

  • Add value to community-based employers and businesses

  • Ensure that proposals are economically neutral in their implementation (ie. avoid distortion of local economies)and allow for the participation of community organisations, businesses and local government

  • Ensure that the proposals do not displace or crowd out existing or permanent jobs

  • Ensure that the training programmes develop the job-ready skills of the long-term unemployed, while recognising and utilising existing skills and may include on-job training

  • Target priority groups over-represented within unemployment statistics

  • Ensure that proposals contribute to local economic development.
