Raising Aspirations in Bolsover – September 2010
As part of the Raising Aspirations project commissioned by Bolsover Local Strategic Partnership, Chesterfield College is offering residents in the district a FREE personal development course to encourage positive progression in to employment, volunteering or further training.
The course is available to those over the age of 19, living in the Bolsover district that are currently claiming benefits and out of work. The course is completely free with travel and childcare costs covered for the duration of the programme.
During the course, individuals work with tutors to build a portfolio of employability evidence including CV’s and personal statements as well as taking part in a work placement scheme. The course will also give individuals access to specialist advice and guidance on areas such as debt, housing, healthy eating and benefits. Upon completion of the City and Guilds course, participants are awarded a certificate demonstrating their development and employability along with a £25 gift voucher.
Emily Williams, Raising Aspirations Project Manager, explains, “The course is an ideal gateway for Bolsover district residents who may be out of work and claiming benefits, and who have the drive to get back into working in the community but don’t necessarily know how to, without their benefits being affected.”
