GCIL Employment has developed and delivered innovative and
unique services to address the barriers experienced by disabled
people when attempting to access the labour market since 2001.
GCIL Employment (including GCILPC) has, over the last twelve
years, led the way in providing solutions to the barriers that
disabled people experience. During that time we have consistently
achieved over 70% success rate in terms of positive outcomes. 
This clearly
demonstrates that the services we provide are effective for a
client group facing multiple disadvantages e.g. average length of
unemployment for participants is over six years and 68% have been
in receipt of DLA, a client group who are even more likely to be
unemployed and have a higher level of impairment.
Outcomes
- 60% of participants in all programmes have moved into
employment
- 11% have moved into further or higher education
In addition, we provide other services which can facilitate and
enable disabled people to access employment including an innovative
housing advice service and inclusive living support services.
Both of these services help to remove the barriers which,
although not strictly speaking employment barriers, can make it
extremely difficult for some disabled people to access education
and employment opportunities.
