Connect to Work Market Engagement Event Supporting Healthy Working Life in West Yorkshire

West Yorkshire Combined Authority is progressing delivery of the Connect to Work programme, which will help reduce barriers to employment and support more people into work. The programme forms part of the region’s Healthy Working Life Programme and contributes to delivering the vision set out in the Work and Health Plan for West Yorkshire to have the healthiest residents and workforce in England by 2040. A key objective of the plan is to reduce economic inactivity and tackle health and socio-economic inequalities by supporting more residents with health conditions, disabilities and complex barriers to access or retain good quality work. Connect to Work will play a central role in delivering this ambition, supporting individuals facing a range of barriers to access and sustain employment, contributing to improved health outcomes and inclusive economic growth. Commercial opportunity to support delivery of the programme is expected to go live in early June, with an estimated total value of £23 million. A market engagement session will take place on Tuesday 19th May at 2pm via Microsoft Teams. This session will provide further information on the commercial opportunity, including the proposed approach and routes to market.
