Beyond the Barriers
‘Beyond the Barriers’ is a unique training programme aimed at helping front-line workers from the health, housing and community sectors to develop their knowledge and awareness of employability issues.
The aim of the course is to give front-line workers the confidence to discuss employability with their clients/customers, and to signpost effectively to appropriate specialist support.
Our experienced and dynamic trainers bring this topic to life in a practical, fun and highly interactive session, supporting delegates to:
- Explore the complex issues and barriers facing people seeking to access or sustain employment
- Gain insights into how to support clients with addressing their barriers to employment
- Find out about the practical support that is available to help clients move closer to the labour market
- Gain a basic overview of the changes to welfare benefits, and of the potential impacts of a move into employment or training on benefit claims.
The session can be delivered as a half-day or one-day session.
What our delegates said…
I really enjoyed the workshop and have advised colleagues to attend if the workshop is held again in the future.
I personally found the day very rewarding, and if there are any future sessions I have recommended all our paid staff should attend as I feel it will benefit all of them in their different roles. Thanks again … for an enjoyable and informative day, it was the best workshop I have attended in a long time.
