FREE Employability skills sessions in partnership with West of England Combined Authority/ Caudwell Children and Creativity works
The West of England Combined Authority is working in partnership with Caudwell Children’s Employability programme and creative works to deliver the Community Support Fund. As part of the Combined Authority’s Recovery Fund, this fund supports residents most disproportionately affected by COVID, to achieve better economic outcomes.
They are all getting used to creating a “new normal” and what better way to start this journey than to take part in their FREE Employability Skills Training Programme.
The aim of the training is to improve the employability skills of young people who have a disability while being fun and enjoyable.
There will be ten online sessions via Microsoft Teams and five online Writing for Wellbeing sessions via Zoom.
Learners will benefit from one-to-one employment and transition support through virtual meetings.
The training will take place from October to December and once all sessions have been completed, they will support every learner for up to three months into employment, training, volunteering or further education.
