Opportunity Sheffield, the employment and skills service in Sheffield City Council, has released its latest news bulletin.
It is made up of programmes which help employed and unemployed people advance their careers through new jobs, apprenticeships, work placements, courses and other training options. It also hosts a range of regular events, where potential candidates, employees and/or employers can meet each other.
Among those taking place in the next month are.
- A Working Jobs Fair at Manor Lodge, 197 Manor Lane, S2 1UJ on Tuesday 6 June, from 10am-12pm No booking required – just drop in and you talk to a range of local employers about their current roles, plus talk to the Opportunity Sheffield team about other work and training options.
- Representatives from Opportunity Sheffield’s programmes will have a stall inside the entrance of The Moor Market on Friday 9 June from 8.30am to 4pm. Team members will be on hand to talk people through their programmes, including Advance Sheffield (training), Advancing Digital (digital training) and Sector Routeways (sector specific training and work placements).
- Sector Routeways, which give local people the opportunity to gain skills, undertake work experience and enter sustained employment in one of Sheffield’s growth sectors. Each Routeway consists of up to 2 weeks of training, with a work placement shortly after. Previous qualifications and experience are not required.
