Find out how we’re helping people in North Yorkshire learn new skills and find work.
Our support is designed to help individuals move into employment, access training, or take up voluntary opportunities, thanks to funding from York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority’s Get Britain Working projects.
We can help people aged 16 and over, so if you know someone who feels lost or needs a helping hand, please let them know about the support available.
Sometimes all it takes is a conversation to start moving forward positively in life, that’s why we are offering ‘life chats’ Where we’ll take the time to listen, help you overcome any barriers, and work together to create a clear plan that supports your goals and aspirations. It could be building confidence, gaining a qualification, or just finding the motivation to move forward, we are here to help.
Book a Life Chat at a time that works for you. Choose a phone call or meet us for a cuppa and a chat, whatever feels right for you.
To book, contact the Skills and Careers team online or call 01609 536 066 and ask for the Trailblazer Team.
