Skills Training & Employment

Without people in meaningful work, communities cannot function. We help people to retrain, gain confidence and gain valuable work experience. From structured volunteering to formal placements with employers, we help people move on a journey towards employment.

Our specially trained staff can provide the following:

•         Delivery of information, Advice and guidance

Through a step by step guidance process, the Skills and Training Team engage with people and their needs to help address barriers to employment e.g. CV writing, Letter Writing, Job Search etc

People are not always sure of the right job to pursue, here at Groundwork Wakefield we have a dedicated team to match peoples skills and experience through our job brokerage service, pointing individuals in the right direction.

The teams extensive knowledge of contacts and what opportunities are available within the area ensures that they are ahead in gaining the right pathway for the individual.

A sensitive and beneficial support process is given to all participants throughout their employment and/or training making sure the individual is achieving and acquiring the confidence to complete the course.
