The Employment Resource Centre is part of The Salvation Army's Employment Plus UK initiative which works with unemployed people to help improve their employment prospects, create new job opportunities, help them grow in self-confidence and learn new skills and then once they have got back into work to help them so that they may become economically independent and self-sufficient

 

Employment Resource Centres welcome people looking for work. Each centre is manned by trained volunteers who can offer employment advice and help with basic skills like CV writing and preparing for job interviews.  Visitors can also make use of resources to look for work, including internet connections to job sites. They may also log on to The Salvation Army's Employment Plus UK e-learning site which points job seekers to education courses and other resources which may help them to become better prepared for the world of work - including literacy and numeracy courses and courses for people whose first language is not English

 

 

 

Lieutenants Rob and Georgina Symons, who lead The Salvation Army corps and community Great Yarmouth hope the Employment Resource Centre will be an important addition to the life of the town

 

The hope is that people will come to The Salvation Army to learn more about the opportunities that are available to them, perhaps to pick up new skills and for advice. Most importantly, being part of the Christian church, they will also find friendship and support at The Salvation Army
