We aim, with our Employment Training courses, to give beneficiaries the skills required to obtain and maintain paid employment.

Courses are separated into three modules - Self, Work and Communication; these modules are themselves split into elements covering issues relevant to the workplace.

The first module Self encourages beneficiaries to think for themselves in relation to work. A central part of this course involves developing a person’s self-esteem and self-awareness.

The Work and Communication modules explore further issues relating to the workplace - these include ownership of work time, coping with criticism, following instructions, recognising authority, relating to others and consistency.

Regular assessment is carried out throughout the courses via worksheets and observation. At the end of each element all beneficiaries carry out an individual evaluation quiz which enables the trainer to assess the group’s comprehension and awareness of the topic. Further feedback is provided by core unit staff and Placement Officers.

Our Employment Training courses were originally developed in-house; the demand and recognised value of the courses has been such that we have now moved onto OCR-accredited courses offering our beneficiaries recognised qualifications in Work Preparation and Career Planning.

Many of our beneficiaries have little or no idea of what kind of work they would like to do - or even what opportunities are open to them. The World Of Work course aims to provide these essential opportunities. The course includes modules on self awareness, vocational profiling, and all aspects of career planning. The Placement Officers are involved in this process therefore we are able to adapt the course to encompass the latest developments in the employment market. The aim of the course is to enable beneficiaries to reach an informed decision about whether they wish to pursue paid employment or not. Tel: 01392 667765
