Background:

The Jigsaw scheme gives low waged and unemployed 16-30 year olds an opportunity to gain paid employment with training and prospects. The employability skills course run by Sero, branded ‘4Jigsaw’, is an induction to the Jigsaw programme aimed at those who need additional support to complete the application and interview process.

Purpose:

The course covers communications, teamwork and presentation skills to build confidence and improve job skills.

Our contribution:

Development and delivery of the course together with delegate administration and marketing support.

Our approach:

Taking top quality commercial training offered to executives internationally and adapting it to the needs of those who have had difficulty gaining job opportunities. The Sero course combines this behavioural training approach with a good understanding of employer requirements and extensive experience of teaching young people.

Results:

A marked improvement in how candidates complete their application forms at the end of the course compared to the beginning.
