Four members of Manchester Athena have delivered skill support to improve knowledge, skills and confidence to increase the chances of accessing training or finding a job.

Skills Support for Employment transformed lives by providing a personalised plan to improve skills and find sustainable employment.

The project helped people who were:

  • Aged 24+
  • Not currently in  education, training or employment
  • A Greater Manchester resident

The programme worked by providing support to improve skills and knowledge, boost confidence and support with finding work. The support included:

  • Tailored one-to-one support based on your individual needs
  • A dedicated learning mentor to support you every step of the way
  • Careers advice and pre-employment support- such as CV writing and job interview tips
  • Opportunities to gain fully funded, accredited qualifications
  • Help with job applications
  • Recent and relevant work experience opportunities to support your CV

This project was funded by The European Social Fund (ESF) and the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA)
