The Employability Skills Award is back!
New Employability Skills Course Launching This November in Chelmsford
We’re excited to announce that our popular Employability Skills Course is back… and it’s better than ever. Starting 6 November, this course is designed to help people in recovery build the confidence and practical skills they need to move forward into employment.
Over the past year, so many of you have told us the same thing: “I want to work again, but I don’t feel ready yet.” Whether it’s low confidence, gaps in your CV, or just not knowing where to begin with job hunting, we hear you — and we’re here to help.
That’s why we’re pleased to support Phoenix Futures who are delivering this empowering course from their welcoming offices on Moulsham Street in Chelmsford.
Two Ways to Take Part – Choose What’s Right for You
This time around, you’ve got more flexibility:
🟢 4-Week Award in Employability
A perfect starting point. You’ll attend one session per week for four weeks and cover topics like CV writing, interview skills, managing anxiety, and building self-belief. By the end, you’ll receive an accredited Award in Employability.
🟢 7-Week Full Accreditation
Want to take it further? Continue for an additional three weeks after the initial four and gain a full accredited qualification that strengthens your employment prospects even more.
🟢 Already done the 4-week course?
You’re still welcome! If you’ve completed the earlier programme and want to upgrade to the full qualification, you can join just the final 3 weeks of this cohort.
