An innovative project is being led by Wirral Council to help people overcome barriers and find new jobs.
The Early Opportunities Pipeline, (EOP), was set up to open up employment opportunities to the most disadvantaged communities, adapting the application process to make it easier to access suitable roles. Wirral Council is now urging other major employers in the borough to join the scheme and give Wirral residents a greater chance to access employment.
A jobs fair delivered by Wirral Council saw almost a thousand job seekers meeting with potential employers and training providers and hundreds of interviews lined up on the day.
If you’re looking for seasonal work in the run up to Christmas, searching for a new job, or thinking of changing careers the next Jobs Fair - taking place in Birkenhead on Friday 19th September - could be just what you need.
The ‘how to become a childminder’ sessions are being run by the council’s Economic Growth and Early Years teams and will also offer advice from the council’s Universal Business Support Service.
A jobs fair programme delivered by Wirral Council has seen more than 1,300 people looking for work given the opportunity to meet with employers and training providers.
A jobs fair in Birkenhead next week will shine a light on the career possibilities within the Health and Social Care sector.
