Helping unemployed people find their futures
About Us
Our Mission
Works+ is a non-profit organization committed to empowering communities through collaborative efforts. Our mission is to provide resources, education, and support to those in need, encouraging self-sufficiency and growth.
Works+ has been supporting young people in the Scottish Borders since 2018. Our unique approach prioritises confidence and wellbeing alongside developing skills and employability options.
Depending on the needs of each client, we work either in small groups or one-to-one. If you're between 16 and 24 and unemployed, we can help you.
Our Courses

In Galashiels the course runs on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

All Age 1-1 Programme
Our friendly 1-1 programme is open to people of all ages, offering support with employment, whether you are looking for guidance, advice, or help to take your next step, our team is here to support you. Although we take appointments.
In Galashiels the course runs by appointments on Wednesdays.

Building Futures
Sometimes you just need to jump in and get your hands dirty.
Construction projects encourage teamwork and enhance practical skills and confidence. We routinely help participants achieve Adult Achievement Awards, undertake training and attain 'tickets' or CSCS cards to progress careers in the construction industry.
