1. Pathways to Prospects was a joint pilot program between Jobcentre Plus and children's centers in Redcar and Cleveland from 2009 to 2011 that provided enhanced employment support through advisors based in children's centers. 2. The aim was to reduce child poverty by helping parents engage in training and employment opportunities to move closer to jobs. 3. Over 700 parents participated in the pilot, with many accessing training, gaining qualifications, starting work, or engaging in volunteering, showing the potential for integrated employment services located within children's centers to help parents improve their prospects.
