We are keen to remove barriers and raise awareness for local residents and provide a real opportunity to gain valuable insight and skills that will create pathways to employment.”

Aftercare & Employment

Participants will receive a copy of the course handbook containing a guide to call sheets, movement orders, CV writing, cover emails, radios and a glossary of terms as well as access to online resources / industry contacts.
