Transforming lives

Each regional CPN combines knowledge and resources to form employment support services – and make a difference to local lives and businesses.

Together, we are responding to social, environmental and economic concerns across the country.

From long-term unemployment and financial inequality to health and wellbeing challenges, we are giving local communities a voice.
