The Employment Hub

We are working in partnership with Calderdale Council to deliver this employability project. It aims to help more people into work, training or apprenticeships.

We can help your business: 

• Find new employees through the Employment Hub talent matching service
• Access support for employees who are at risk of, or facing, redundancy
• Access support to hire a new apprentice. We can talk you through the process of taking on your first apprentice and help you find a suitable candidate. We can also advise you
• On finding a suitable training provider and funding
• Get support to up-skill existing staff. We can help you build a stronger workforce by helping them gain skills that match your business needs
• Apply to the Kickstart scheme. The scheme provides funding to employers to create new six-month job placements for young people who are currently on Universal Credit and at risk of long-term unemployment

The team is also working with people across all communities in Calderdale to help them: 

• Identify and discuss their skills, strengths and experience
• Search for and find jobs and work opportunities
• Develop strong CVs and application forms
• Prepare for interviews and the work environment 

We work in schools and community groups, providing:

• Employability talks about career options
• Mock interviews
• Group workshops discussing the best ways to search for a job, identify skills or prepare a CV

The project is part-funded by the European Social Fund, with support from the Leeds Enterprise Partnership.

The Employment Hub project runs from January 2019 to March 2023, and is free to both clients and businesses.
