Take your next step to where you want to be
Would you like to find out more about jobs and work, training, developing skills and building your confidence? Not sure where to start, or how to go about it?
We have a new, flexible programme starting that'll give you the chance to explore what your next step could be, through four taster weekly sessions.
You can choose to come to all of them, or just the ones that suit you. Whatever your choice, you’ll have what you need to take your next step – whether it’s discovering volunteering opportunities, career options or developing further skills for work.
Our ‘Let’s Talk About What’s Next’ programme will be offered at local community venues, just around the corner from you. Each session will be 90 minutes long and will explore a different theme:
-
Session 1 – Jobs and work
-
Session 2 – Skills
-
Session 3 – Training
-
Session 4 – Building confidence and setting goals
Giving you a helping hand
We know that it can sometimes be difficult to find time for you when family life or caring responsibilities are your main focus. We’ve listened to your feedback and our sessions will take place during school hours and evenings, designed to fit around you.
We’re also offering help with:
-
Childcare – some of our centres will offer free play sessions to look after the kids while you’re attending;
-
Public transport costs;
-
Any other support you may need with your caring responsibilities. We want to make it work for you, so do chat to us and we’ll do what we can to help.

We’re particularly keen to hear from One Manchester customers currently not in work or training.
