Need some extra help to get back to work?
Due to extra Government funding, unemployed people living in
the Castleland, Court or Gibbonsdown wards in Barry are now able to
use New Deal programmes without having to wait six months (if under
25) or 18 months (if over 25).
As part of the Vale of Glamorgan Council’s Lifelong Learning
Employment Training Service, there are work placements in
carpentry, bike maintenance, painting and decorating, retail,
clerical, etc. Also available is continuing job search support
including CVs, application forms, confidence building and access to
resources and friendly staff.
To show what's on offer from LLETS and partners Dash Training
and BTCV Cymru, an open morning (10am-12 noon) has been arranged
for Thursday, 21 June, at the Holm View Centre, Skomer Road, Barry.
Light refreshments will be available.
Individuals will be able to talk to experienced staff, see the
variety of placements on offer and decide which opportunities are
suitable. Taster sessions will be available in some workshops.
LLETS Training Manager Pippa Jones says: "Why not come along and
see how we can help you get back to work? You’ve nothing to lose
and lots to gain!"
