We are not like other ‘into-work’ programmes.
We help people who want to get into work overcome the barriers that are stopping them, and we support employers with suitable vacancies to access committed future employees.
Works Better can now also support people in Kirklees aged 15+ to receive help with finding training, work and apprenticeship opportunities!
We do this across all of Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield which means that we have lots of people and vacancies to bring together.
Works Better is part funded through the European Social Fund and delivered through a collaboration of six partners – Kirklees Council, Fusion Housing and Paddock Community Trust, Calderdale Council, Newground, Wakefield Council and Groundwork, operating across Kirklees, Calderdale and Wakefield.
Funding
The project is receiving up to £2,875,709.00 of funding from the European Social Fund as part of the 2014-2020 European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme in England.

At Works Better I had three meetings altogether, I told them where I struggled and they helped me to overcome that. The job connectors put me forward for interviews and now I’ve got this job. I can’t thank the team enough for what they have done, it’s been brilliant!
