Skills and employability
Our advisors can help you to explore your skills and interests, finding opportunities that match your circumstances
They can support you to access development options that are right for you. It might be that learning or volunteering opportunities could be a good fit. They can also tell you about other services that might be able to help you to access these options.
By developing skills for everyday life, you’ll see the difference now. You’ll also get a head start if you do decide to ask them for support around work or training in the future.
There are lots of reasons that people might not be looking for work currently.

- fallen out of learning, work or volunteering.
