Free training in administration is up for grabs in Broxtowe at a recruitment event taking place on Thursday 22 May between 10am until 3pm at the Broxtowe Borough Council, Town Hall, Foster Avenue, Beeston.   

The event is geared towards helping unemployed people looking for work in administration but lacking the skills. The event will provide the opportunity to discuss the skills that will be taught at the administration academy. These include qualifications in customer service skills and business communication preparation plus the opportunity to go on a work placement.

The event has been organised by Essential People – the skills and development arm of employment specialist  Working Links, run in partnership with Broxtowe Borough Council and Castle College. Essential People are supporting hundreds of people into work in Nottingham with a project they are running which has been funded by the Learning and Skills Council. This will see those aged over 19 years with fewer than five GCSEs gain the skills they need to help them find a job.

Doug Haddon from Essential People, comments: “For many people trying to return to work isn’t as easy as just filling in an application form. They often lack the skills they need to help them get a job. We are able to address this need and by working in partnership with Broxtowe Borough Council and Castle College we can help achieve this.”
