major employment initiative launched in stewarton positive skills for employment
Hundreds of unemployed and marginalised Stewarton families could benefit from the launch of a successful national employment initiative in the town .
Since it was launched in 2012 , CAP Job Clubs has grown to a network of 163 across the UK , helping more than 1,000 people into work , many of them long-term unemployed . The initiative currently boasts a 24 % success rate , up to seven times more successful than some governmentcommissioned work schemes .
Now , thanks to volunteers at John Knox Church , in High Street , who have undergone training with charity Christians Against Poverty , the town will be able to offer extra support and practical advice to unemployed people .
Job Club Manager , Graham Whitham , who will be leading a Job Club course , said : “ Knowing many people are out of work – and yet have talents and skills going to waste , we just felt we had to do something and Christians Against Poverty ’ s training and resources seemed like a really great fit for us .”
Graham said : “ It ’ s about giving people back their pride . If you have been out of work for any length of time you don ’ t have a lot of that . Many of the people that attend a CAP Job Club have been alone for a long time and they are tired and frustrated .” CAP Job Clubs are based on the three Cs : Course , Community and Coaching . The eight-week Course provides those looking for work with skills and abilities , such as CV writing , interview technique and the value of volunteering . This Course runs alongside a supportive peer-to-peer Community , where those looking for work can share their experiences , struggles and advice . In addition , each person is given one-to-one coaching to develop their strengths and identify other opportunities , such as volunteering or a college course . The club will run weekly starting from 18th January 2017 at 1.30pm at The Cottage behind John Knox Church .
