A course which helps job-seekers in Cornwall find their dream job is re-launched with funding from the European Social Fund and support from local businesses.

Stand Out from the Crowd is an employability course which was originally run by Unlocking Potential from 2009-2015 and uniquely, provides the training within a variety of local business premises.

Out of more than 450 participants eight out of ten landed a job within six months of taking part.

The next course starts on Monday, November 6.

The course is supported by a number of Cornish businesses such as The Rick Stein Group, Ocean Housing, BF Adventure, Pirate FM, Francis Clark, TJ International and Brian Etherington so participants gain exposure to and advice from local employers.

Christina Saker from Liskeard took part in the pilot course in September 2017 and said: ‘I love how this course is not just about being more employable, it wants to take care of the person trying to be more employable too.’
