TRAINING

The Brandwood Centre has successfully secured continuation funding from the European Social Fund to enable us to deliver our Train-to-Gain programme offering free back-to-work training, accredited courses, drop-in sessions and work experience for long-term unemployed/inactive and single parents.  By providing these services we aim to raise confidence, skills and knowledge and increase employability prospects.

If you are a single parent, unemployed or inactive, take a look at what’s on offer below. You never know where it could take you!

Whilst the Centre remains closed, to protect both our staff and customers, we are still able to offer a selection of online courses, remote CV support and socially distanced work placements to those who are single parents and/or unemployed/inactive.  Please see below for more details
