New college funds to help unemployed back to work

Monday 1 June 2009

Unemployed people are to get extra help to re-skill and re-train with the help of Redcar & Cleveland College.
 
The college has been awarded extra funds as part of an £83m allocation in the north east to help train people who have been unemployed for over six months and help them back into work. This is in addition to the existing range of support options available to people through the college.
 
There will be plenty of new short courses to get people back into work as quickly as possible. Springboard courses will get those coming out of work into further training and new jobs to meet opportunities for employment in the region.
 
In addition to this scheme the college also offers a range of other vocational training options for anyone who is looking to boost their skills or learn a new profession.
 
Gary Groom, Principal of Redcar & Cleveland College, said:
 
“This new funding will benefit hundreds of people in the area who are looking to get back into work.
 
“The job losses resulting from the recession have meant that the employment market has become constricted and there is much more competition to get the jobs that are out there.
 

“Redcar & Cleveland College is here to help anyone who wants to improve their opportunities for gaining employment by boosting their existing skills or learning a new set of skills.”
