Pathway to Employment | Learning in South Yorkshire

Unemployment or career progression can leave people unsure of their next steps - but it doesn’t have to cause a total panic.

We’ve got you covered when it comes to making sure people have the skills they need to get back into the world of work or progress and change careers.

We offer pre-employment training in a range of sectors, specifically designed to give people the knowledge and confidence to bag that new job. Training is government funded which means you don't have to pay a penny toward training costs.
