What is Ways2Work?

Ways2Work is a network that connects people working in employment support so residents of the West of England (Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset) can get everything they need for their next job.

We want to spread the news about courses and support that you offer. We run an email network, have regular network meetings and share information.

The network was originally started by Bristol City Council in 2006, and has since continued growing. We aim to enable collaboration and cross-referral between organisations in the area who help people move closer to employment, start work and progress into better careers. This benefits the residents, employers, and economy of the West of England.

What support do we offer?

We would love to share details of your employment-related courses, events, support services or job vacancies.

Send an email to ways2work@bristol.gov.uk including:

  • a short description of any opportunities you would like to promote
  • how to apply
  • a link or email address for more information

We will forward your message to our network of hundreds of people working in the employment and skills sector.

Join our network

We send updates from organisations working in employment support and recruiting employers in the West of England once a week. These are most useful if you work supporting customers into work and training. We recommend setting up a rule and folder in your inbox for these emails as we send them individually and there are often a lot of messages.
