Free courses will help jobseekers find opportunities

Screen Shot 2016-05-25 at 16.44.58County Durham Housing Group is holding two free workshops to help local jobseekers improve their chances of finding work.

The sessions will take place:

County Durham Housing Group’s Employment and Skills Officer, Claire Maddison, said: “Our free workshops will focus on helping people find out how and where to look for work.

“People may find it hard to break into a new sector and may not know where to start looking for jobs.

“We will help attendees to find ‘hidden’ jobs by looking at sector-specific websites, and identify local relevant agencies that can provide further help.

“Our courses are useful for people who are looking for a job or even a change of career, particularly if they’re unsure of how to get into a particular field of work.

“Anyone who wants to claim their free place at one of our workshops should email employability@cdhg.co.uk or call us on 0191 349 7657.”

County Durham Housing Group’s Employment and Skills Team provides support to tenants of Dale & Valley Homes, Durham City Homes and East Durham Homes to find a job, access training, gain apprenticeships and venture into self-employment.
