AdminHistoryThe Community Programme, funded by the Manpower Services Commission and managed by the Corporation, provided employment for more than 330 male and female adults in a number of positions within the Corporation. It aimed to help the long term unemployed gain employment and training.

They were largely used as support workers for Community Development projects. In 1985 they were involved in schemes including work in Almondvale, Livingston Village Recreation Area, Livingston Mill farm, Environment and Planning Surveys, as well as providing clerical support. The MSC was replaced in 1987 by the Employment Training Scheme.
