Walsall College Short Courses to Help People into Work - April to June

 

Walsall College has a number of short courses available to help jobseekers back into work that take place from April!

 

Our Employment Gateway courses are open to *anyone aged 19+ who are currently unemployed with many offering a guaranteed job interview or work experience opportunities.

We have courses available in a number of areas to help people into work, including working with the NHS and in the care sector.

The aim of these free courses is to provide individuals with all the support and knowledge they need to work in specific areas, including help with the development of their CV and interview skills to give them the best opportunity to get back into work.

These courses will run providing there are enough people registered.

Take a look below at what courses we have coming up at either our Hawbush Campus in Leamore or our Construction College in Kings Norton, Birmingham:
