The successful Employability Skills Programme run by Future Pathways has moved premises to 1st Floor, Norwest Court, Guild Hall Street, Preston and will offer help to more people in Preston to gain skills and enter the job market.
The Employability Programme has already helped hundreds of people in Preston to improve their skills. The new premises will help make the Programme available to more people and will offer the following services:
- Increased literacy, numeracy and employability skills.
- The equivalent of a GCSE grade A-C in English and Maths
- CV Writing
- Job Application and interview Techniques
- IT Skills
- Team work and confidence building skills
The Employability Skills Programme offers learners one to one support, individual learning plans and work placements. The programme lasts an average of 20 hours per week for 12 weeks and prepares people to enter the job market. The programme is free and clients could be eligible for a training allowance and support with travel and child care costs.
Future Pathways are also proud to now offer ESOL for clients who English is not their first language.
All the training is delivered by qualified training advisers who are skilled in helping clients get the skills they need to get back to work.
Future Pathways works closely with the jobcentre Plus to make sure people who would benefit the most from the programme, which is funded by the Learning and Skills Council, have access to it.
