Why is this free?

MPT Steps is a Lancashire partnership project, funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) programme, which will aim to engage with over 4,000 job seekers who may have recently been made unemployed or those who are economically inactive living in Lancashire.

The project, set to run until December 2023, will seek to address the issues faced by disadvantaged Lancashire communities in accessing or re-accessing the job market as a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic. It brings together various organisations from different sectors to share best practice and provide greater coverage across the county.

Those with more complex barriers into work may benefit from our separate More Positive Together programme.
