We provide sessions to develop skills for a working life. These sessions aim to support members who wish to find employment, volunteering opportunities, or simply wish to learn something new. We help members enhance their employability skills, helping them to achieve their full potential for living independently and preparing them for the workplace.
We also offer various work placements which you can read more about on our work experience and placements page.
