Employment Skills and Support

 

Great Places’ Community Investment Team can support you (and anyone living in your Great Places home or community) to access employment, training, education and volunteer opportunities.

It doesn’t matter if you’re currently in or out of work or what qualifications and skills you currently have – there are lots of ways we can help.

Our specialist Employability Coaches can provide one to one support, or we may point you in the direction of a trusted service or partner.

How we can help

  • Job, apprenticeship, work experience and volunteer opportunities being offered in your area.
  • Help with your CV, cover letters and applications.
  • Interview practice.
  • Applying for funding for employment-related costs such as training, childcare, travel expenses or interview and work related clothing.
  • Advice on setting up your own business.

The Training Academy

Would you like to improve your skills and knowledge or are you looking to learn more about what is needed in different job sectors?

We are running week-long taster courses to improve your chances of working in health and social care, with children and in customer service. All of our courses are free for Great Places’ customers and assistance can be given to help with travel expenses.
