Employment Support - Partnership Action for Continuing Employment (PACE)
Partnership Action for Continuing Employment (PACE) is the Scottish Government’s initiative dedicated to helping individuals and employers with advice and support when faced with redundancy.
Midlothian Council are a members of the PACE Partnership, made up of 24 organisations which include the Scottish Government, Skills Development Scotland, Business Gateway and the Department for Work and Pensions. PACE Partners respond to redundancy situations through providing skills development and employability support to minimise the time people affected by redundancy are out of work.
PACE advisers can provide advice and support to help employees find work, access financial support and explore learning and training opportunities.

Individuals
If you have been, or are at risk of being, made redundant, Midlothian's PACE officer can help you navigate the change and support you as you work out your next steps. The support will give you everything from advice and guidance on your rights throughout the process right the way through to supporting you into future employment and helping you to access any other services that you may need arising from your redundancy.
