Creating opportunities through employment and enterprise
Calico Enterprise helps people develop skills, gain experience and access opportunities that support long term employment and personal growth.
Through training, work experience, social enterprises and specialist support, we help people build confidence, develop new skills and progress towards their goals. Our focus is on creating opportunities that benefit both individuals and local communities.
Everyone’s journey into employment is different. That’s why we provide flexible support that recognises individual strengths, aspirations and circumstances.
We firmly believe that our difference lies with the people who work here
At Calico Enterprise, we work with local schools, colleges and businesses to provide training, support and programmes to support people in our communities into work.
Our aim is to help people in our communities into employment and support personal development. We also work with businesses to build their workforce and create employment opportunities.

Working with others
We know that unemployment is often linked to many different aspects of a person’s life. That’s why we work closely with a wide range of partners to provide joined-up support and improve access to services.
Our partnerships can include:
- Employment and skills organisations
- Community and voluntary sector organisations
- Local authorities
- Housing providers
- The NHS and healthcare providers
By working together, we can help people access the support they need and build stronger foundations for the future.
