Retraining Grants CLICK HERE

If you have been redundant, or lost your job for other reasons, you may see retraining to improve yours skills - and your employability - as the way out of your situation.  We cannot recommend courses, but if you know what you need and know the agency that can provide an appropriate course, we may be able to fund it.

We would be grateful if you could also complete and return the Diversity Monitoring Form CLICK HERE

Advice & Guidance: 

We are not qualified to give advice to improve your employment situation, but we work with Bookcareers who can provide advice on how to get into the trade, or improve your position, and, subject to your financial situation, we may be able to fund this.  Contact Suzanne Collier at [email protected]  for further information.
