Do you need some extra help to get back to work?

 

Due to some central government funding, people living in Castleland, Court or Gibbonsdown in Barry and currently not working are now able to access additional support to help with getting into work.

 

The Vale of Glamorgan Council’s Lifelong Learning Employment Training Services (LLETS), together with partners Dash Training and BTCV Enterprises, are working to offer a wide range of opportunities to meet the needs of local residents.

 

To show what is on offer, they are holding an open morning on Thursday, 24 July, at The Hub, YMCA, Court Road, Barry, from 9.30 am until 12 noon. Light refreshments will be available.

 

LLETS manager Pippa Jones said: "You will be able to talk to experienced staff, see the variety of placements we have and decide which of the opportunities will be best suited to you. Some taster sessions will be available."

 

Examples of opportunities available include:

 

• work placements in carpentry, bike maintenance, painting and decorating, retail and clerical, etc;

• short training courses to help you get that job, including construction type (eg, site safety, CSCS), food hygiene and first aid, and

• continuing job search support including CVs, application forms, confidence building and access to resources.

 

Pippa added: "So why not come along and see how we can help you get back to work? You’ve nothing to lose and lots to gain."

 

More information is available from Pippa or Lisa on 01446 721974.
