Halton Jobs Programme Is Right On The Money

Source: Widnes Waterfront

The Halton People into Jobs programme, is a unique partnership between the council and local employers aimed at providing people outside of the jobs market with the confidence, skills and other tips on how to land a job with one of Halton’s existing businesses.
The programme has the full support of 1,145 businesses in Halton which have all signed up to an Employment Charter recognising applicants that have completed an intensive two-week employment workshop designed to hone their application and workplace skills.
The Halton Employment Charter tackles real and perceived barriers to employment and worklessness such as low self-esteem, poor self-image or lack of self-awareness, communication skills, job aspirations, goal setting, decision making and dealing with difficult situations.
Once in employment, participants will also benefit from an on-going 26-week employment aftercare programme to help coach new employees through the first weeks of their new career.
For further information on the project please contact: Emma Marsh on 01928 759 090.
