Local Strategy Day for WorkCentres
A fresh approach, new partnerships and more people working

A Strategy Day with Des McCabe, the UK's leading jobs specialist at a date to suit your organisation.

WorkCentres are being established across the UK to help people find work and build their futures. This Strategy Day explores from a practical ‘hands-on’ perspective how local partnership approaches can be created to help those struggling at this time in local communities. 

Who is this Workshop for?
All Local Organisations with a interest in helping individuals to get back to work. This can include Local Authorities, DWP, Statutory Agencies, Colleges, Training Providers, Community Organisations, Local Businesses, Chamber of Commerce, Careers Advisors, Faith Groups, Enterprise Bodies and others. 

Format
Part one (morning) takes delegates through the Work It Out! approach ‘step by step’ to show how individuals can find work, earn income and build their future. 
Part two (afternoon) explores the implementation of the approach and the setting up of a local WorkCentre in your area

This practical hands on workshop also includes case studies and examples to illustrate how Local Authorities, DWP, Voluntary Organisations, Faith Groups and Statutory Government Agencies are already working together using Work It Out! to create new partnerships and delivery frameworks to help those most at risk and vulnerable in local communities.
