A total of £9.8m will be spent across Surrey by 2030 to help sick and disabled people back into the workforce, the government has announced.
Applicants are to receive help from employment coaches and job matching services.
It is hoped that help will be offered to 2,500 people in Surrey.
The funds are part of a national £338m Connect to Work programme, which hopes to reach 300,000 people across England and Wales over five years.
According to the Department for Work and Pensions, people in Surrey can refer themselves to the scheme, or be referred by healthcare professionals, local authorities or voluntary groups.
Matt Furniss, Surrey County Council’s cabinet member for economic growth, said: “This investment will make a real difference to residents across Surrey who face significant barriers to employment.
“Connect to Work will provide help to disabled people, people with health conditions and those with complex barriers to employment, to get into and stay in work.
“Helping Surrey residents to access good work and thrive in employment is a key part of our commitment to ensuring no one is left behind and will help to further support the continued growth of our regional economy.”
