MEET the JobFit programme, a 13-week personalised programme for unemployed people offering free skills training, free job search support and free work placements with local employers. JobFit is available to people who are educated up to Junior Cert level and will provide them with the training, qualifications and skills that they need to get noticed.
“The programme operates out of the Limerick JobFit centre in Watchhouse Cross Shopping Centre in Moyross,” explains manager Brian Carmody. “JobFit is funded by the Labour Market Activation Fund of the Department of Education and Skills, and delivered by TBG Learning in partnership with National Learning Network.”
JobFit is here to help people focus their energies, build self-esteem and to maximise chances of success.
Amongst the courses which may be offered are Information Technology skills, Health and Social Care, Consumer Awareness, Manual Handling, Workplace Safety and Food Hygiene. Participants can achieve FETAC level 3 Preparation for Work and level 3 Work Orientation qualifications. Social welfare benefits are not affected by the programme.
“Get in touch with us now as the programme is available until the end of December and places are limited,” is Brian Carmody’s recommendation. Simply log onto www.jobfit.ie, email [email protected] or Freefone Moyross at 1800 303 354.
