Are you being made redundant or worried you might be?
In the current economic downturn there are many people who will be living with the threat or possibility of redundancy. In these circumstances it is important to look at what you can do if the 'worst came to the worst', or what personal development you can undertake to enhance your prospects of keeping your career prospects elsewhere.
Help is available
There are numerous training and development opportunities that people can access, and many of them are free!
Through Government funding, in order to assist residents of Greater Manchester during the economic downturn, Work Solutions is offering free independent careers advice and information on employment opportunities.
What's involved?
Each session will provide:
- An overview of the learning and skills available to you locally
- Information about employment opportunities, both permanent and temporary
- Free careers advice with a qualified careers adviser to discuss individual aspirations, issues and circumstances
