Positive People

Inspiring you to build a brighter future

Everyone should have the chance to succeed in life, to develop skills and build a career. Positive People is a flexible community programme designed to help you take positive steps towards building your confidence, gaining new skills, and eventually move into work or training.

Help with everyday life:

• Personal development – help to build your confidence, health and well-being.
• Help to master digital technology – including computers, tablets, phones, software and the internet.
• Signpost you to benefits, advice and financial advice

Improve your qualifications and help you to find work:

• Help to access training – anything from basic skills to vocational and professional qualifications.
• Help to prepare for work – including clubs and work trials so you can try out jobs and gain experience.
• Job search – preparing CVs, applications and interview practice. We will also help you to approach employers.
• Access to computers, internet, printers and photocopiers.
• Advice on apprenticeships and self-employment.
