Community Planning in Midlothian

Midlothian will support residents to improve employability and outcomes in our communities

Our vision is to reduce the gaps in learning, economic circumstances and poverty. We will do this by working together to help people of all ages to access lifelong learning and employability opportunities. 

The Community Learning and Development Partners Strategic Plan 2021-24 (PDF) aims to build skills for learning, life and work, and supports communities to improve outcomes through community development approaches. 

The No One Left Behind plan 2022 -25 (PDF) is aimed to address the needs of Midlothian residents seeking employability support. It sets out how the Council and partners will work together to offer a range of targeted programmes and support for all.

• Child Poverty
• Employability & Learning
