A Trafford Council jobs club scheme launched to help residents find employment is proving to be a success.
The job clubs, launched across the borough in September 2023, support local residents with finding employment, apprenticeships, training and volunteering opportunities.
Seven job clubs have been set up so far and they have supported 111 residents, of which at least 11 have now secured employment.
Cllr Liz Patel, Trafford Council’s Executive Member for Economy and Regeneration, said:
“We are delighted with the work of the job clubs in Trafford – it is a fabulous initiative. The Council is committed to helping as many residents as possible find employment and the clubs are doing just that. We have also made supporting people out of poverty a corporate priority and the clubs also supports this commitment.”
The job clubs could not run without support from our wonderful volunteers, who are giving up their time to support other residents to search and apply for jobs. We currently have several volunteers supporting the job clubs and are always on the lookout for more. If you are interested in becoming a job club volunteer, then get in touch.
