Funding received through the KEY Project has enabled Cresco, as Lead Partner, to provide a quality employment. We operate throughout the L'Derry/Strabane area to help local employers fill job vacancies. We offer our unemployed clients a friendly and professional service that significantly increases their chances of finding and keeping a suitable job.
How does this work?
If you are unemployed, contact us with the details of the work/training you are looking for and your previous experience. You will then be invited for an informal discussion and registered for our unique monthly three-week workshop. This is an intensive and unique job-readiness programme that focuses on the all-important soft skills that are needed to succeed in the world of work.
Once you have completed the three-week workshop, each client will be assigned to a Community Employment Advisor who will provide them with one-to-one support and guidance in their attempts to secure employment.
The client will be able to utilise newspapers with recruitment advertisements, computers on which they can do typing tests, design CV's and covering letters, use internet to visit Job Centre online, contact potential employers or training courses and use a careers options database. We have also set up links with employers through the Strabane Chamber of Commerce, City Centre Initiative, Women in Enterprise and Londonderry Chamber of Commerce. At any time during the above process if either the client or Community Employment Advisor identifies the need or desire for more specific or specialist training provision, they will be referred accordingly.
Our responsibility to our client does not end when they find employment. We will follow-up and provide further support after a client secures employment, to help with any problems with adjusting to the workplace environment or to help them find another job, if necessary.
Here are some of the things that we can do for you!
