NORTH Northamptonshire Council is teaming up with partners to support job seekers across the area.
The new NN Jobs Club will occur in-person every Tuesday from September 6 between 11am and 2pm rotating around four locations:
September 6 KETTERING Council Chamber, Bowling Green Road
September 13 WELLINGBOROUGH Queensgate Shopping Centre, near Customer Services
September 20 CORBY Council Chamber, Corby Cube
September 27 RUSHDEN Salvation Army, 19 Church Street
The sessions will provide customised support for residents until they find employment, training, volunteering or start a new business. Plus, in between the sessions, Job Club members will be encouraged to stay in touch with partners.
North Northamptonshire Council is working with partners including Job Centre Plus, MIND, Prospects, Evolve Your Future, Tresham College, University of Northampton, Catalyst, Serve, the Prison Service and the Salvation Army.
Cllr David Brackenbury pictured, the council’s executive member for growth and regeneration, said: “It is great that we are able to team up with partners to provide vital support and assistance to job seekers across North Northamptonshire. I am especially pleased that NN Job Club meetings will be held at locations throughout North Northamptonshire and this underlines our desire to provide this service throughout our area.
“As well as the weekly sessions, the team will be working to deliver further support, including in more rural areas and harder to reach communities across North Northamptonshire to ensure that as many people as possible are helped to find work.”
Council leader Cllr Jason Smithers added: “These sessions are designed to support an individual’s needs and our team will work closely with you. So, if you or someone you know is currently looking for work, training and volunteering opportunities or maybe considering starting a business, I would encourage you to come along to become a member.
“It is great that our teams and partners are visiting four of our larger towns across North Northamptonshire – Rushden, Kettering, Corby and Wellingborough, which means that support and advice will never be too far away for those wanting to access the service.”
