The Moray Employer Recruitment Incentive helps people with the greatest barriers to employment get jobs and stay in jobs. The Incentive is coordinated by the Moray Pathways Local Employability Partnership, funded by the Scottish Government and administered by Moray Council.
Please note that this funding is only available until the end of March 2024. Employers must utilise their own funding beyond April 2024. MERI funding this year is limited, therefore approval is not guaranteed.
