Redundancy Support Roadshow Events
Redundancy Support Roadshows
People who fear losing their jobs and those who have been made redundant are being offered help through Walsall Council’s Redundancy Support Roadshows.
Walsall Council is working in partnership with Walsall Housing Group, Black Country Enterprise, Walsall Libraries, Jobcentre Plus, Walsall Citizens Advice Bureau, Walsall College, Unity the Union, Walsall Endeavours, Nextstep, Business Link, Steps to Work and Breathing Space to stage the initiative.
The roadshow has been developed using the real-life experience of someone who lost their job and knows first hand the most relevant support needed.
Events have previously been run in Beechdale, Willenhall and Walsall Town Centre and the feedback has ranged from: “I’ve found out more in an hour here than I’ve found out since I was made redundant last October,” to “After 17 years as an HGV driver I am looking at re-training as a plumber. Now I know the next steps to take.”
Representatives will be available who specialise in:
- Business support
- Career guidance
- CV preparation
- Further education and re-training
- Interview techniques
- Job search facilities
- Pensions and benefits advice
- Pre-redundancy assistance
- Provisions for self-employment
