Our team of community engagement navigators will outreach with individuals in the community, understanding their needs and barriers to employment, and building relationships with local community groups, to create awareness of our services and develop referral pathways to the Belfast Works program for all eligible people.

Each client that enrols with the programme will be assigned a Connect Navigator who will support them throughout their journey. Our staff will focus on building a relationship with clients whilst working to understand their personal barriers. Clients will develop a range of basic / life skills, develop an individual action plan, gain advice from our benefits advice team, receive well-being supports and warm referral process to external services.

3. Skills Navigator

Our professional staff team will support clients to develop a skills action plan, identifying training from our internal menu of over 100 courses.

This stage involves providing ongoing support to individuals after they have gained employment. Navigators offer guidance on career progression, workplace challenges, and personal development, ensuring participants have the necessary support to sustain their employment and continue their professional growth. This training will enhance employability skills through individualised guidance and assessment, clients will develop career pathways.
