Skills 4 You
Upskilling the long term unemployed or socially isolated to improve employability and self-confidence.
Skills 4 You is a project that enables learners to actively engage in real-life work settings.
Skills 4 You have an open-door policy for adults:
- who have never worked
- who have been out of work for some time
- who are socially isolated or suffer from a health or mental health issue.
Training courses are designed around the individual according to their own particular needs. Using knowledgeable staff, skills4you offer support such as mentoring, support for preparing CVS, interview techniques and certificated online courses covering health and safety and first aid.
The funding support offered by Sellafield has allowed Skills4you to also explore strategies to increase the income generated from selling items made in their wood and up-cycling craft workshops by its learners.
