Free careers advice and support
Date Added: 17/12/2020
The National Careers Service team, part of BESS Adult Learning, is continuing to provide residents with careers advice. This can include career direction, course advice, CV writing, job search, application forms and interview advice.
This service is free and open to anyone over the age of 19 years old. It is also available to 18 year olds who are not in education, employment, or training.
Appointments take place over the phone or using Microsoft Teams video calling.
Success stories from recent months:
• Caroline was furloughed and wanted to use her time to train for a different role. We were able to produce an action plan to help her get into a Teaching Assistant role. She is now completing a ‘Support Work in Schools and Colleges’ qualification and Functional Skills Maths.
• Chris was looking for a handyman role. His advisor supported him with his application form and interview. He was offered the job and is really pleased to be back in work.
