Moving On Course

The course lasts for four weeks and covers a variety of topics that all relate to preparing for employment, training or moving on in some way.

•  Some of the sessions are directly aimed at building skills that will
equip an individual in applying for jobs, from how to best look for
the job you want- to how to do a good interview.

 

•  Other sessions look at building confidence, overcoming problems
and expressing fears and hopes in thinking about work.

 

•  All attendees are offered the opportunity of on-going support
after the course finishes.
