Job Centre

Your Job Centre can give you information that will help you to get a job. They can also provide the information needed if you are interested in learning new skills or starting your own business. They offer information about jobs, advice at every stage of your jobsearch, advice on career direction and advice on training.

Whatever your needs, they can give you clear, practical ideas about getting back to work. Remember, most jobseekers find work within six months.

Learning and Skills Council- Tyne and Wear

The Learning and Skills Council uses its 47 local arms to meet local learning and training needs for everyone over the age of 16 not at university. In particular, local offices are responsible for matching learning opportunities to the needs of local employers.

Each local Council will have the resources and local flexibility to work with local representatives from employers, learning providers and community groups, to identify skills shortages and implement training and education to address them.

Sun 1419

www.sun1419.net 

Sun1419 is an ideal way to learn about the opportunities for our young people in Sunderland.

Sun1419 is an innovative website, developed in Sunderland for the young people of Sunderland. It provides information about subjects, courses, qualifications, where to learn, how to get advice, jobs and related work, as
well as details about the Educational Maintenance Allowance.

Sun1419 also presents a selection of Learner Profiles about young people in Sunderland. Each profile reveals reasons why some have chosen apprenticeships, further education courses or employment with training. In
this way, students are able to learn from those who have made those important decisions before them.
