News > Jet launches Work Club
Posted on 02 March 2011
Everyone is welcome at the new JET Work Club which has just been launched.
JET’s Work Club is a place where jobseekers of all kinds can get advice and support in finding work. Part of a countrywide initiative by the Department for Work and Pensions, the Work Club will give people in Stoke-on-Trent the chance to meet others looking for work, build new contacts, share job hunting experiences and get advice on interview techniques, CVs and even volunteering opportunities.
“Research shows the best way to find a job is through friends, family or social networks, which is why it’s so vital to have a Work Club in this area,” commented JET business adviser Angela Kidney, who set up the Work Club.
“During every session, we will help people to look for work by swapping ideas and talking to guest speakers including people from local businesses, about opportunities in the area,” she added.
You will also have the chance to up date your IT skills, build your confidence and link up with Local Partner Agencies who can offer training and volunteer placements. The type of activities that JET already offers the long-term unemployed but are now open to anyone who wants a job. Attending the Work Club doesn’t affect benefits at all.
The JET Work Club will meet every Wednesday between 10am and noon at the Goodson Building in the City Centre where JET is based. What you are assured of is a nice cup of tea and a very warm welcome. And the chance of chatting to others who are in the same boat as you so you feel less alone and isolated.
If you feel you would benefit from the work club, or you wish to get more information please call Jet Business on 01782 2381215.
