Training & Education

Opportunities to gain qualifications, skills and employment.

We break down barriers to educational success and employment opportunities so that people can fulfil their potential and gain meaningful employment.

Our goal is for young people to feel motivated to tackle the challenges they face in employment and at home.

We help with CV writing, interview skills, self confidence and motivation, and connect people to local companies for apprenticeship and employment opportunities. Our goal is to see people thrive as they contribute to the community where they live and work.
