Employment Support

At YMCA Northamptonshire we want to help young people achieve their goals.  We want to support our residents to find sustainable employment in a job that interests and motivates them.

Whether residents are looking for a new career, additional qualifications or an apprenticeship our Employment Coach is on hand to help.

• Individual sessions to identify training or educational needs or volunteering and employment opportunities and chat about how residents can achieve their career goals.
• Build resident’s confidence and self-esteem through employment sessions such as ‘Becoming Job Ready’, ‘Career Development’ and ‘Employment Skills’ to help with job applications.
• Offer support and advice with CV writing and interview technique.
• Offer resident’s ongoing support once they have a job to offer any advice and help they need.

Planned employment sessions are available on a daily basis and employment coaches and volunteers are always on hand to support residents in a variety of ways.
