TRAINING and the chance of an exciting new career are on offer through the Copeland Work and Skills Partnership.

The partnership, led by Copeland Borough Council, runs six-week long ‘academies’ to help unemployed people get the basic skills, experience and confidence they need to get back into work.

Featuring short training courses, mock interviews, work experience and support with applications, they are delivered in partnership with employers who have current or future vacancies. Participants are guaranteed an interview at the end of the academies.
