Work Club to start at Coalville Library
A new work club aimed at helping people to find employment and improve their skills will be running at Coalville Library.
The Coalville Library Work Club will run between 1pm and 4pm every Tuesday initially for six weeks, starting on Tuesday 1st February, and is for anyone aged 19 years or older who is unemployed or at risk of redundancy.
Staff from the library, the councils Adult Learning Service and advisors from Acorn Training and Next Step will be on hand to advise people and help get them back into work and training.
They can offer help with CV writing, searching for jobs over the internet, completing job applications and accessing training including computer courses and those around confidence building.
The Work Club is in addition to the successful Multi Access Centres (MACs) programme which has been rolled out across all 54 libraries in Leicestershire. The centres aim to help improve opportunities for local people wishing to start or return to work.
Trained advisors can discuss education, training and employment history and go through the options and opportunities available to people. As well as providing information, advice and guidance, advisors can also refer people to other organisations that may be able to help.
David Sprason, Leicestershire County Councils Cabinet Member for Adults and Communities said: I am pleased that libraries are taking an active role to respond to the needs of local people and that they are able to help people get back on the right track, be it through work or further education and training. Multi Access Centres are in all of our libraries and our staff are on hand to help in any way they can.
For further information about the Support 2 Work event or to arrange an appointment with the MAC Advisor at Coalville Library, please call 0116 305 3565. The library is on High Street, Coalville LE67 3EA.
