The focus in the economy is shifting more towards a slow recovery, with the value of lessons learned along the way. Many of us have found ourselves with new or developing roles to fulfil, or identified that we need to retrain, upskill and prepare for changes ahead. This is an ideal time to put this in motion.
The College's Business Enterprise Team has been working hard to support people out of work as well as businesses. The latest joint initiative has been run inline with Insure 4 Retirement to train a number of candidates referred by Job Centre Plus over a 2 week period, developing their skills, and ultimately preparing them for an interview with Insure 4 Retirement at the end of the programme. For more information contact Jacky Grant, Business Enterprise Skills Adviser on 01202 205500.

Nick Pearce, 40, worked in the Construction Industry for many years, but after medical advice, decided to change careers to stop any further damage to his health. He first moved to Bournemouth to work in retail, but the shop he worked at went into administration, and he found himself unemployed. It wasn't until he expressed an interest to get into the Care Industry that the Job Centre could really help him progress into a career that inspired him most. Nick attended The College's Skills for Care course, in association with Job Centre Plus.
