The courses are open to anyone living in a believe housing home. They may be especially useful for people who have not worked for a while, are not looking for work right now, or are unsure where to start.
The Employability Team can also help with volunteering, job searches, CVs, applications and interviews.

- are living with a health condition and want to stay work-ready
- are studying or planning for the future

- simply want to learn something new.
Skills for work and everyday life
These courses are not just for people looking for work right now.
They can help develop practical skills and prepare for future opportunities, whether returning to work, balancing family life or simply wanting to learn something new.

Real results: course helps mam land ideal job
A single mother-of-four who wanted a job that could fit around school hours and childcare began her journey back to work with an online food hygiene course.
With support from believe housing’s Employability Team, she completed the training as a simple way to refresh her CV, get back into learning and rebuild her confidence.
A few months later, she felt ready to show employers she wanted to work again and has now secured a teaching assistant role.
What to do next
Even if work isn’t the next step right now, online training can help keep skills up to date and open up future opportunities.
The Employability Team can help customers register, choose the right course and access support if getting online is difficult. Courses can be completed at home or in community settings such as libraries.
