Get Into Work

 

 

dv8

 

The ‘Get Into’ skills support course is designed to offer workplace and skills development sessions and workplace based projects to develop your existing skills in order to gain employment, apprenticeships or work experience. Led by ‘Skills Training Agency’ this course allows its students to work at their own pace and develop their CV, Cover letter and transferable skills, whilst in turn boosting their confidence for the interview setting. With closer partnerships with local employers and businesses, the desired outcome from your participation on this part-time, 4 week course is to enter you into a work experience, apprenticeship or full time work placement.

The part-time, 3 day a week course takes place at Dv8 in Bexhill and offers a unique opportunity for students to progress within a friendly, non-restrictive, helpful environment with tailored tasks allowing students to work with tutors to reach personal goals. The benefit of the nature of this course timetable is that any students with childcare or other responsibilities can still participate. 

The Get Into course is for 15-24 year olds that are currently out of work or education (or summer holidays before college begins). No prior qualifications are necessary.

•    Pearson Workskills Award Level 1
