A new and exciting project providing support into employment for job seekers who have learning difficulties

Joined November 2013
Off to London Wednesday to the final dissemination event! Hoping to talk to lots of people about our project and its successes !
Another new experience! Speaking, on video, while our words are being signed . Seemed to work well - looking forward to the result.
Last week the learners were filmed for an information video about the project. tomorrow its our turn!
We are having a video made about our project - learners are being filmed today - hopefully employers and board members next week!
Another learner being interviewed for a work placement this week! :) More placements would be useful though.........any tips ?
#AskGove Do you have plans to fund work-based training at levels suitable to support adult LLDD to gain skills and experience to find work?
Second board meeting tomorrow - more news to follow. Skills assessments nearly complete - then the work placements can begin.
