The new year is the perfect time to discover what you want to next, and our Future Focus events are the place to do just that. Our Employment and Skills team are dedicated to helping you build your confidence and skills while supporting you to get into training and jobs.

We've partnered with Manchester City Council to offer these events, where you can explore different roles, learn about various industries and hear first-hand about what job requirements and skills are needed.

Next up, we’ll be hosting events that focus on housing, logistics and retail.

What to expect from a Future Focus event
