Redundancy Support
You are not alone at this difficult time - we can offer help with searching for jobs, job applications, CV writing and interview skills remotely. Starting Point can also help you apply for funding to help you retrain and ensure your qualifications are up to date so you can get back into the workplace as quickly as possible.
Funding for training can be applied for 13 weeks prior/post redundancy date, and training must be related to your previous job role (it can also be used to venture into self-employment if you have a business plan). This funding can be used towards training, a course, qualification or licence; the course must be short (less than 2 weeks measured on a full-time basis) and face-to-face.
For more information on applying for redundancy support funding, call us on 01744 698800 or email info@thestartingpoint.org
Free training courses
Where possible, we are offering remote training so you can still add valuable skills to your CV and stand out to employers looking for staff.
Courses currently planned to run remotely are:
- Digital Skills for Jobseekers (2nd April)
- Introduction to Digital Marketing (14th April)
- Microsoft Office Essentials (20th April)
- Level 2 Digital Marketing (21st April)
