Nisus Scotland
has secured funding to deliver an IT training and personal development
programme open to asylum
seekers, refugees and Black and Minority Ethnic people in Edinburgh
and Lothian. The project, called Skilltech, is now in receipt of
funding from the Community Fund and the European Social Fund.
Skilltech will be delivered in partnership with Skillnet Edinburgh
and course activity will mainly take place at the Nisus Scotland
premises in Leith. Skilltech will provide two main training programmes
including a series of dedicated 12-week courses providing certified
computer qualifications, job search, communication skills and
English language support. In addition, the project will offer
short non-certified IT courses made available through the Skilltech
Summer School.
Course recruitment will happen throughout February and March
with the first 12-week course running in April. Uniquely, applicants
will not be restricted by length of residency, employment status
or time spent claiming benefits.
Anyone wanting more information about Skilltech or application
procedures can call Jackie Moore at Nisus Scotland on 0131
554 5656 or send
an email.
We are currently recruiting new staff
to help deliver this project: please visit the Nisus
Scotland Jobs & Careers Section. |
