about passport

creating opportunities to move on from care,
prison, substance use or homelessness


Passport is a one to one employability and education programme for people moving out of care, prison, substance misuse or homelessness.

Passport's aim is to support, motivate and challenge the people we work with so that they gain the self-confidence, skills and qualifications they need to get a job or move into further education. This provides a foundation on which people can build fulfilling lives with real prospects.

Passport works by providing individuals with regular one-to-one motivation. This approach involves the development of an accredited personal action plan and placement on relevant training programmes to move into employment, training and education.

Among its wide range of benefits, Passport offers:
  • Core skills training through SQA accredited learning
  • Confidence building
  • Training on interview techniques
  • College visits, access to College courses, and funding support
  • A tailored CV and covering letter service
  • Advice on how to fill in application forms
  • Access to work placements in a wide range of sectors
  • Support to gain volunteering placements
  • Aftercare support to ensure students move on and achieve their goals

Students can join Passport at any time
and Passport costs you nothing!

Students will receive travel vouchers to get to and from one to one sessions. We can even buy students clothes for their first interview. Joining Passport does not affect a student's benefits.
