Industry training for job seekers

About industry training

Industry training is a blend of classroom training and on site work experience provided by Back to Work to give you a head start in particular industries.   

It offers training courses in specific areas such as:

• early years
• ILM business training
• pathway to care
  
• hospitality
• customer service training

These training courses are followed by a work experience placement with a local employer.

Who industry training is for

Industry training is available to anyone who is:

• registered as actively seeking work
  
• in receipt of income support 
• locally qualified for work

You will be expected to prove that you are keen to improve your skills in one of the training areas and committed to finding a job.

When you join industry training, you will be assigned an Employment Advisor (if you don't have one already) who will work with you to:

• support you throughout your time on the programme
• help you develop your CV
• arrange your work placement
• help you search and apply for jobs

Training is an important part of the programme and is tailored to the needs of local businesses. It is delivered by experts and designed to prepare you for your work placement. Some programmes give you the opportunity to complete qualifications.
