PREVENTING HOMELESSNESS PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES

Training and Development Service

Move On’s Training and Development Service provides employability focused training and support for men and women who have experienced homelessness. 

The service is demand led, focussing on access, progress and retention, addressing the root causes of labour market mismatch for those furthest from the job market. The service users make informed choices and are supported in developing their own pathways to sustained employment. We are a specialist agency with a vast experience of removing major barriers to employment, training, education and volunteering, with particular expertise in supporting those with multiple barriers.

What do we offer ?

• Effective early interventions particularly for disadvantaged people.
• Service user focused interventions, supporting service users whilst reducing the complexity for them.
• Sustaining and progressing employment, training, education and volunteering, with a particluar focus on providing  support for people when they take up an option.
• Joined up planning and delivery of services and  a common assessment and referral process.
• Better outcomes, a clear focus on sustained work and the  stepping stones to it.
• Enabling service users to stabilise their life through the structured routine of the programme.
• Increase service users’ self-esteem and confidence.

Through participation and learning in the group sessions service users can demonstrate to employers, training providers, further education colleges and volunteer placement providers a number of skills and attributes that they have gained. Service users will:

• Develop skills and learn about skills they already have.
• Examine current coping mechanisms and explore new possibilities.
• Increase their confidence and self-esteem.
• Set achievable weekly goals.
• Examine future plans.
• Become more assertive.
• Look at problem solving techniques.
