Helping you into training and employment

We know Covid-19 has had an impact on secure employment in our local communities and we’re here to help. Inspire Culture, Learning and Libraries has joined partners across the region to support unemployed residents, especially those facing barriers to find a job, through a new programme called Way2Work.

Through the Way2Work initiative, we're supporting residents in Nottinghamshire, Nottingham, Derby and Derbyshire into training and employment.

If you’re unemployed or looking for work we can provide you with the support you need, and a mentor, to help you with:

  • Careers advice and career change
  • Work preparation
  • Writing or updating your CV
  • Job application advice and help with application forms
  • Interview skills
  • Self-employment
  • Volunteering
  • Work placements
  • Apprenticeships
  • Information about courses and learning opportunities
  • Development of new skills
  • Qualifications in Maths and English
  • Qualifications in IT

Through Way2Work we can even help you with the costs of starting a new job.
