Support into employment or progressing your career.

The Council’s Employment and Skills service can support you in breaking down any barriers that you may face when moving into employment, progressing within your career and developing your required skill set. You can access bespoke support, tailored specifically to your needs and future aspirations. Whether you need help developing your CV, practicing your interview techniques or would like support in building your confidence to secure your dream job, we can help.

Our Employment Kirklees programme is available to anyone age 16 and over, and offers information and guidance if you are employed and looking to improve your job status, helping assess your future career plans, supporting you in identifying qualifications, sourcing better work opportunities, helping you to find your next job role or career challenge and ensuring you have the skills needed to develop and thrive.
