Explore Skills and Employability in Athersley

Are you interested in learning something new, finding a job, or getting involved in your community?

If that sounds like you, join us on Tuesday 30 July from 10am to 2pm at Athersley Roundhouse Library. Our team of advisors and our partners will be on hand to help you explore options for learning, training, work and volunteering.

Everyone is welcome to attend the event, no matter your background or starting point. On the day, you can explore options and support to build your future, your way. Speak to us about:

  • Learning and training opportunities to build skills for everyday life or work
  • Volunteering opportunities that can build confidence, skills or abilities
  • Support for young people and families
  • Information and advice around benefits, housing, debt, mental health, isolation and social exclusion and much more
  • Support for people with learning disabilities, learning difficulties or autism.

Cllr Robin Franklin, Cabinet Spokesperson for Regeneration and Culture, said: “This event is a great opportunity for people in Athersley to discover ways to build their skills and abilities. Come along to explore your goals and find options or support that works for you.

It doesn’t matter if you’re not sure where to start, if you have a specific goal in mind, or if you want to grow your skills while you’re in work – our partners and advisors are happy to help.”
