Potential Jobs for Young People
JHP Employability is pleased to announce significant involvement with a new Learning and Skills Council (LSC) funded initiative launched this month for Jobcentre Plus customers, Young Person’s Guarantee.
The Young Person’s Guarantee is part of the government’s drive to help the unemployed youth of today reach their maximum potential through the help of the UK’s top training providers.
It is recognised that individuals aged between 18-24 years old are finding it difficult to find work or further training. This new initiative offers unemployed young persons who are approaching six months of claiming JSA, support and guidance as well as a work placement, at no cost to them. JHP Employability aim to deliver key skills training to help individuals gain and sustain a job, focusing on the individual’s strengths as well as responding to the demands of employers and the local labour market.
Various sectors are available for training, including retail, logistics, health & social care, business administration, warehousing & distribution, hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism, facilities management and security.
Fully trained professionals will determine the individual’s needs and match them with a tailored learning plan to ensure their maximum potential is reached. Assessment of general employability skills and training to improve their job search, CV writing and interview skills and confidence skills will also be addressed. Individual’s existing skills will be developed to help secure and sustain work in their local areas where future labour market opportunities are forecast. Once individuals have secured work, JHP Training, sister company of JHP Employability, will help individuals to work towards achieving Level 2 or 3 qualifications on-the-job, including Apprenticeships and NVQs.
Advantages to this new initiative are that individual’s strengths are maximised through the tailored learning plans, and weakness are overcome and improved, therefore the training and support is relevant to their own goals, and also geared towards a specific job role. Training programmes are run all year in order to ensure that individuals don’t miss an opportunity. Training allowance and support towards travel and childcare will be provided, as well as providing the ease for clients with easy-to-reach central locations for the training to take place.
JHP Group actively promotes and supports equality of opportunity for all, regardless of ability, age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity or religious belief.
