People whose health has prevented them from working are being offered a helping hand by Liskeard Job Centre.

The centre has used a Government grant to fund two courses, one of which is already in progress.

The pre-employment skills training course currently under way at the Liskerrett Centre will see participants complete BTEC and NVQ qualifications in work and leadership skills, as well as First Aid training.

Meanwhile, local provider United Response has 30 places available on a course aimed at supporting people back into the world of work.

Anyone interested in finding out more should contact United Response on [email protected] or call 01872 250150.
