ESF Funding
Enhanced Training for Employability
This project has applied successfully through the NI European Social Fund Programme (2007-2013) to undertake two consecutive 18-month programmes with candidates who are unemployed with disabilities and health conditions.
The purpose of the project is to train a total of 24 candidates in both IT skills and personal development skills in order to maximise their opportunities to access the employment market and/or allow access to additional training or personal development that will do likewise.
The project has been deliberately designed as two consecutive periods of training with 12 candidates on each course in order to maximise benefit to each candidate. Four candidates will make up a reserve list for each course and will replace any candidate who, once allocated a place on the course, cannot continue on the course.
Briefly, the "hard skills" to be covered include - basic keyboard skills, MS Word, specialised software, OCR Clait and OCR Preparation for Employment; the "soft skills" cover - confidence building, personal development, team building and interview skills. Additional input will be provided by relevant individuals and organisations.
This project has been funded by European Social Fund, Department for Employment & Learning (DEL) and the Disablement Advisory Service (DAS).
