Employability Skills Programme
Helping local people find local jobs
Introduction
Personalised support to help you upskill
We offer a range of free, short courses for people who are unemployed or claiming out of work benefits.
They are designed to provide the next step into job areas such as administration, hospitality, retail, construction, care and more.
They are teamed with a separate employability qualification during which time you can set personal goals and boost your confidence around your existing skills and abilities.
All courses are part time, last for about six weeks, and run throughout the year.
