EESPro, Employment & Education Support Project, supports current and former drug users who wish to access learning or work opportunities. Service users do not have to be drug free to use EESPro but do need to have a level of stability for their aspirations to be realistic. In addition they must be currently unemployed, and have the desire and motivation to gain work or education. We provide a range of assistance such as career advice, confidence building, interview coaching, and CV writing. Criminal Justice work is undertaken through Drug Iintervention Partnership and as part of Birmingham's Prolific Priority Offenders Partnership. EESPro also provides training, advice and support to employers relating to the management of drugs & alcohol in the workplace.
