Renaisi has managed a series of Environmental Task Force (ETF) and Voluntary Sector (VS) New Deal contracts. The ETF & VS contracts are employment programmes which are mandatory for medium to long term jobseekers; all participants have been unemployed for at least 6 months and often face multiple barriers to work. The ETF & VS programmes offer participants work experience placements, training opportunities and job-search support from staff; 40% of those who participate in the programme successfully move into employment.
Renaisi’s ETF & VS team has grown substantially over the past 8 years since winning their first contracts in the London Borough of Ealing in 2003, the team is now responsible for delivering another four ETF & VS contracts which span across East, West and South London (covering a total of 11 London boroughs) as well as Watford County Council.
The ETF & VS programme helps 18-24 year olds find work experience opportunities with companies that intend to benefit the community and/or the environment. It enables young adults to gain the experiences needed to find suitable and sustainable employment even if they do not have any qualifications.
