About the Programme

Pathways into Property is an 8-week hybrid training and mentoring programme helping unemployed and under-employed residents gain the confidence, skills, and connections to step into flexible work within the property sector.

Over the course of the programme, participants:

• Attend two in-person workshops (Weeks 1 & 8)
• Join six online sessions in between (2 hours each)
• Work in small, focused groups of 12 participants
• Receive a Certificate of Achievement
• Connect directly with local property professionals - estate agents, letting agents, and accountants

“No previous experience or qualifications are needed - just a willingness to learn, grow, and take part.”

For Participants

If you’ve ever thought about working in property but felt it was out of reach, Pathways into Property is designed to help.
Over 8 weeks, you’ll build real confidence, learn practical skills, and discover new ways to earn around your lifestyle.

What you’ll gain:

• Practical knowledge in sales, lettings, and investment
• Property management basics: viewings, inventories, inspections, and admin
• Customer service and professionalism in real estate
• Communication skills and confidence building
• A recognised Certificate of Achievement
• Local connections with agents, landlords, and property businesses
• A supportive peer network of like-minded learners
• Tips on freelancing, self-employment, and enterprise

“Before Pathways into Property, I’d never imagined showing a property. Now I feel confident applying for local roles and supporting agents with freelance viewings.”
— Liam Chadwell, Programme Attendee

Proven delivery. Scalable impact.

Pathways into Property is currently funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) in partnership with Tendring District Council.
It’s a flexible, outcomes-driven model that can be replicated across the UK, tailored to meet local employment, housing, and skills priorities.

Why it works:

• Aligns with national and local priorities: employability, enterprise, and upskilling
• Focuses on residents aged 18–65, including those long-term unemployed
• Delivers measurable results: participants progress into work, self-employment, or further training
• Builds local business links and strengthens economic inclusion
• Combines in-person and online learning for accessibility and reach
• Improves wellbeing and confidence through mentoring and achievement
• Creates community pride, as participants can actively support their own borough’s property ecosystem

This programme transforms local potential into opportunity, one community at a time.
