Let’s Talk About Self-Employment
Let’s Talk About Self-Employment has been funded through the
European Social Fund (ESF).
The ESF is a European Union initiative that helps people who
need additional support to enter jobs, improve their skills and
develop their potential at work.
ESF opportunities are helping offenders to gain skills and
connect with the workplace.
This booklet is targeted specifically at offenders who are in
their last two years of their sentence.
The guide is aimed at people living in areas covered by the
England ESF Objective 3 programme (i.e. all of England except
the Objective 1 areas of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly,
Merseyside and South Yorkshire).
Since 2000 ESF has invested around £4 billion of ESF money in
employment and training projects in England. This has
benefited over 4 million people.
