Welcome to the Employability Network
The Perth & Kinross Employability Network’s objective is to seek to improve employability services for young people and adults with additional challenges and barriers to work ( disabilities, illness or a history of offending) . The Network provides a wide range of supports, opportunities, and volunteering or work experience placements to help people achieve their personal goals / outcomes. Some member organisations also offer a range of supports to local employers.
