New course for Mansfield jobseekers
The course, run by CT skills aims to provide people with skills they need in the workforce, and to cope with the chnages to the benefits system that will come into effect from September.
Anthony Swinyard, universal credit course tutor said:“Learners don’t all learn the same way. People can be put off learning, and leave school with no qualifications, but we help them get into work - it’s not the end of the world.”

MP Ben Bradley said: “I welcome local training providers that can provide help to unemployed people across Mansfield. It is important that support is available to jobseekers to help them find work.”
