Apex Tayside

New Routes is the national public social partnership mentoring service targeting prolific male offenders aged 16-25 with the objective to reduce re-offending. Apex supports individuals returning from prison to the Tayside area.

This ESF funded service assists those who have multiple barriers to employment or who are long term unemployed. Our objective is for each individual to complete their action plan by moving into employment, training, more advanced qualifications or progression to stage 3 providers on the Employability Pipeline.

Works4YOU is an employability service delivered in partnership with Clackmannanshire, Dundee, Perth and Angus Criminal Justice Social Work which incorporates personal development.

The aim of the service is to directly tackle the barriers faced by service users with a criminal record accessing education, training and employment opportunities, to improve their job readiness and bring them closer to the labour market.
