TBG Learning’s Response to Redundancy programme can ease the strain of today’s rise in unemployment figures

Local independent training provider TBG Learning, which has centres in Derbyshire, Kent and London, is ready to help the rising numbers of unemployed people announced in new figures released today. Over 2.44 million people are now out of work – the highest level in nearly fifteen years.

TBG Learning provides the free ‘Response to Redundancy’ programme, which can help people get back into work. It is for people of all skill levels, from manual workers to those from professional and management roles. It gives individual, practical support on areas such as CV writing; identifying job vacancies and brushing up on interview techniques plus help with improving literacy and Numeracy skills if required.

Response to Redundancy is available to anyone who is under notice of redundancy, has been made redundant recently, or is unemployed and ready for work. The advice and training is tailored and can be as short or as long as is needed, dependent on the extent of help required.

The programme also offers support to employers who have had to make staff redundant, not only to help those under notice of redundancy, but also to upskill the remaining workforce to help make the future of the company more secure.

Abi Osho, Regional Manager for TBG Learning London said: “This is a distressing time for those people who are out of work or facing redundancy, but this programme is great because it is tailored to the needs of the individual, whether you have been made redundant from a financial job in the City or have come from a more practical background. Come along and see what it can do for you!”
