JETS - JOB ENTRY TARGETED SUPPORT PROGRAMME

It has been a tough year for everyone. However, Chamber member New London Educational Trust (NLET) is workinghard to help London Borough of Ealing residents through our new office at the Lido Centre inWest Ealing where we are pioneering the West London Alliance (WLA) and Shaw Trust Job Entry Targeted Support programme, or JETS for short. The initiative is a COVID response programme to support unemployed people in receipt of benefits to re-enter employment. It is a national contract working to help develop employment skills and capacity, especially for those most affected by the pandemic. NLET aims to help residents gain employment via a range of integrated employability support, personal development skills and information broadcasts. Our light touch employment support is linked to vocational upskilling and reskilling opportunities, preventing individuals from becoming long term unemployed or economically inactive. We support participants to identify and overcome barriers to work, helping recognise transferable skills and career alternatives, providing up-to-date employability tools and rekindling motivation, drive and confidence, enabling more effective job searches and aiding in progress towards sustained employment. Interventions include: • Employability skills training • CV Sessions -all levels • Tailored support • Personal Development modules • Post Covid-19 support • One-to-one, group and remote training • Participant forums including peer led discussions • Employer Insight Sessions from Labour Market Analysis • Broadcasts including NHS opportunities The Lido Centre, where NLET delivers its Ealing services, is a base for over a dozen Ealing charities. It is a community resource and venue for meetings, training and support services for Ealing residents. NLET is delighted to partner with the Lido Centre to widen our network of support. (#lidolife) If this is the right opportunity for you or someone you know, please speak to your local Job Centre Work Coach and ask to be referred onto the JETS Programme.
