The Skills Support for the Unemployed initiative is aimed at the 18+ and unemployed.

The short courses are designed to upskill individuals and give you some training and development to boost confidence and increase their employability.

We also try to arrange job interviews after each course. 

Not only is all the training and development paid for, but you will receive money for each training day, paid into your account at the end of each course.

This is to cover any expenses e.g travel, food that they might have occurred. They won’t need proof of expenditure. They will literally just receive a capped payment per day, for each course (this is paid on successful course completion).
