The free, eight-week course provides jobseekers with essential skills, such as CV writing and interview technique. At the heart of the course is a supportive peer-to-peer group where course members can share their experiences, struggles and advice. In addition, each is given one-to-one coaching to develop their strengths and identify other opportunities, such as volunteering or additional training.
Holy Trinity runs this service in partnership with Christians Against Poverty (CAP). Christians Against Poverty (CAP) is a UK charity which provides free debt counselling, money management, job clubs, life skills groups and support. Our CAP services are open to people of all faiths and none.
