Our training and engagement initiatives
By linking our training services with our wider resident engagement work, we can signpost our customers to new opportunities in employment, development, learning, healthy living and involvement, and help to tackle worklessness, and financial and social exclusion.

Are you unemployed, claiming JSA or claiming ESA and being asked to look for work? You will still receive benefits and be able to claim travel and child care expenses. Having completed the employability training and work experience you will be offered an interview with one of the participating organisations for a customer service post within that organisation. Those successful will be offered employment for any suitable posts available at that time or placed on a list for future job vacancies.
For more information, or to find out if you are eligible, call Katie Lad at Barkerend Training Centre on 01274 728 377 or Jobcentre Plus Employer Advisor Team on 01274 336 627.

Our training centres
Our dedicated training centres and business centre work within our local communities in Bradford, Burnley, and Middlesbrough. Each centre offers a number of training and learning programmes designed to meet individual needs and help each learner get to where they want to be.

Employment training
Our employment training courses not only teach the technical skills to do a job, they help trainees develop the life skills that enable them to make a contribution back into the community. Key is the role of mentors, who work on each individual scheme to provide an intense support structure. We also work closely with employers and colleges to ensure that the trainees are of the highest quality, and able to go straight into new roles in the most productive way. However, the real measure of our success is the trainees who have completed our courses and are now working in and contributing to their own communities.
