Our work in action

We’re the leading provider of the Scottish Government’s flagship Fair Start Scotland service.

Since 2019, we’ve been helping thousands of people to learn new skills, find work and progress their careers.

Across the South West, East and North East of Scotland, we make a genuine difference to people’s lives every day of the week.

Visit our dedicated StartScotland website for more details about our work.

Personalised service

We understand everyone is different so a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work. Our trusted, friendly and experienced team take the time to get to know our customers and find out what makes them tick.

Our experts identify transferable skills in a heartbeat. They’re geniuses with CVs and application forms. And they know exactly what to say in an interview.

Health and wellbeing

We help people overcome challenges they never knew they could tackle. We have in-house health and wellbeing professionals like physios, counsellors, occupational therapists and mental health nurses ready to provide bespoke services to help people conquer their barriers on their journey towards happier, healthier lives.

Skills for a modern workforce

There are no quick fixes and we’re not interested in a revolving door. We want to create lasting change in communities and people’s lives. That starts with equipping people with the skills we know employers are looking for in candidates – for today and tomorrow.

And as well as growing existing businesses, we also help develop new businesses. Our enterprise advisers are on hand to help people become their own boss and create new start-ups to help grow the local economy.

Our face-to-face frontline work is complemented by our unbeatable online support. The Fedcap Hub provides hundreds of training courses and self-help guides to help people achieve their career goals.
