Employment and skills
We work with a range of training providers and employers to help you to access training and get a job.
We want to help you:
- get the right skills to get the jobs that are available
- develop your talents and achieve your ambitions
- overcome the barriers that stop you from getting a job and help you to feel part of your local community
We are working towards achieving a target of 70% employment in the borough by 2012. Some of our key programmes to support people back to work include:
Helps you take those first steps back towards employment if you’re out of work and don’t have many qualifications.
Improve your skills and build your confidence through accredited training, job placements and volunteering opportunities.
If you have been out of work for a long time we can help you get back into employment. Specialist support is available for lone parents.
Green Man Skills Zone will open in Coldharbour later this year providing training and employment advice to local people.
