OVER 130 Copeland residents have been supported into employment and training opportunities over the past year via the Copeland Work & Skills Partnership.
The Partnership – run by Copeland Council and funded by Copeland Community Fund and Sellafield Ltd – has published its annual review for 2019/20 this week, and it outlines the life-changing support and opportunities it has offered to 137 individuals over the past 12 months.
