PACE - Partnership Action for Continuing Employment

What is PACE?

Partnership Action for Continuing Employment (PACE) is the Scottish Government’s flagship programme designed to provide free, impartial advice and support to those experiencing redundancy at their workplace.

The programme itself is a collaboration and draws upon the expertise and existing services from a wide array of partner organisations including: Skills Development Scotland (SDS), local authorities, The Department for Work & Pensions, Citizens Advice Scotland, and many more.

Details of the support offered by Angus Council and other PACE partners can be found below.
