Cardiff Council’s into Work Advice Service provides residents of the city with a complete employment and skills package, supporting people who are out of work or those wanting to upskill into higher paid and more sustainable work.

Established in 2018, the Into Work Advice Service (IWAS) supports people to secure and progress in employment through mentoring, access to training, and removal of barriers. The service focuses on those who are furthest away from the job market and have the most barriers to entering employment. Utilising different funding streams, this non-statutory service ensures that dedicated provision is available for a range of client groups:

  • 16–24-year-olds not in employment, education or training
  • Individuals aged 50+
  • Individuals who are in work and facing poverty
  • Individuals who are homeless or at risk of facing homelessness
  • Refugees
  • Care-experienced young people
  • Individuals with learning difficulties, learning disabilities or autism
  • Individuals who are long-term unemployed
