New provision to support participants
Joanne McKechnie, Contracts Manager
As part of our Skills Path programme, we are delighted to launch our new Chatty Cafe social hub and one-day confidence-boosting radio course to support our participants, in partnership with Chelmsford Community Radio.
We recognise some people joining our programme need support to build their confidence before applying for jobs, and our two new initiatives will address this need in a fun and informal environment.
Chatty Cafe
The Chatty Cafe will be managed by a volunteer participant on our Skills Path programme, and a place where participants can join together to talk about their experiences in a safe and welcoming space.
Held weekly, it’s aim will be to develop social skills, build confidence through conversation, share
Radio course
Our one-day radio course will include a number of elements that will build confidence through learning and applying new skills and developing skills for job applications and interviews!
- Interviewing skills
- Listening skills
- Script writing and editing
- Audio editing and sound effects
