## Description

CLLD is launching a new call to facilitate the transition of those workers who were affected by COVID-19 and have lost their job or those are looking to return to work after a period of unemployment\. We recognise there are particular challenges faced by people who worked in the hospitality, arts, retail and tourism sectors and also would like to see a particular focus on those who are over 50 or have disabilities\. The call is to offer training, confidence building, and skills development that will enable these now out-of-work individuals to either: 1\. Re-skill or up-skill in order to promptly pivot to new sectors \(for example: care, customer services or self-employment\) 2\. Pro-actively prepare for the new post-COVID-19 job opportunities \(local tourism, training on sanitary measures, hygiene, Health and Safety\) through training, confidence building, and skills development\. Total grant funding amount available: £280,000 \(European Social Fund - ESF\) Expected intervention rate: 80% Match: to be found from non-EU sources\. Minimum total project costs: Projects costs will have to be over £50,000 \(i\.e\. Minimum £40,000 CLLD ESF grant per project\)\.
