Careers advice and life skills for people in prison
Finding work after leaving prison is important in helping people transition back into communities and avoid reoffending.
A careers coach from Skills Development Scotland works with people in Perth Prison as part of a multi-agency approach. Perth Prison Partnership helps people prepare to return to communities.
Skills Development Scotland also supports employability fairs at HMP Perth. Employers are invited into the prison to be shown the facilities and to discuss training that could be delivered and what standards are expected in the workplace.
The prison staff are in touch with local employers to help understand work needs and gaps in the market within the Perth and Kinross area. The aim is to develop services and training geared to matching the needs of individuals with employers’ expectations.
Skills Development Scotland works in conjunction with the Life Skills Centre within the prison and the Learning and Development Hub – which is an in-house Fife College unit - to prepare people for employment when they leave prison.
