Work Programme: Scotland

Question
(2) which organisations provide mandatory work placements through Work Programme prime providers in Scotland; and where such organisations are based;
Answer

The Work Programme is totally flexible to meet the needs of individuals, with no fixed or obligatory elements. Providers may offer work placements to meet the needs of some individual participants, but the Department does not hold details of individual placements or organisations offering work placements as this is a commercial matter between providers and any interested organisations.
