Telford & Wrekin Council launches Connect to Work programme
The programme offers help with job searching, interviews, applications and curriculum vitaes (CVs).
Telford & Wrekin Council has launched the Government-funded Connect to Work programme across the borough.
The scheme brings in £3.2m over five years and will offer tailored support to up to 300 people each year through the job box team.
Connect to Work is set up to help people with disabilities, health conditions or other barriers to get into and stay in work.
Residents can refer themselves or be referred by organisations they already work with.
Support is available for up to 12 months for those out of work and up to four months for people already in employment who need help to remain in or return to work.
The programme offers help with job searching, interviews, applications and curriculum vitaes (CVs).
Participants can also get advice about the financial impact of moving into a job, as well as on-the-job support for both employees and employers.
The council said people will get a quick response if any issues come up as they settle into a new role.
