WORK coaches are hoping for another successful year for jobseekers across Solihull.
From job fairs to courses and one-to-one support there is plenty on offer to help residents find a job with businesses across the borough.
Theresa O’Borne from Birmingham South West jobcentre said: “We’re looking forward to another successful year. The priority remains to build excellent partnerships with local businesses, so we can help to fill their vacancies with the right people.
“For jobseekers our work coaches have a range of support on offer including access to training and voluntary work experience. This along with specialist services through the Disability Employment Advisors, can act as a spring board to a new career.
“Currently there are vacancies in virtually every sector, whether that’s hospitality or health care. In particular we’re working with Release Potential and RMF to fill their vacancies. Also, we’ve organised Sector Based Work Academies for Momentum & Birmingham Airport are hiring for the airport and on-site roles as it prepares for the year ahead.”
The next Jobs fairs will be held on Tuesday (January 28) at the Onward Club in Chelmsley Wood.
There will also be a Sector Based Work Academy Recruitment event during Apprenticeship week, which runs from February 13 at Solihull Recruitment Centre.
Work and Pensions secretary, Liz Kendall MP said: “The Government is relentlessly focused on driving up opportunity and driving down barriers to success in every part of the country.
“With real wages continuing to rise we are working to boost living standards and get the economy growing as part of our Plan for Change by reforming Jobcentres, joining up fragmented local support and guaranteeing every young person has the chance to be earning or learning.”
