Our Mentoring Service encompasses schemes such as our Step Forward programme, and aims to give young people the help they need and deserve to move forward into employment.
Our employment mentors work with candidates on a one-to-one basis, helping to identify and overcome barriers to work, working on confidence issues, identifying skills, helping to locate relevant job opportunities and providing assistance with CV writing, interview techniques and mock interviews. They can also refer candidates on to other services for help and advice on specific issues.
