Response to Redundancy

Response to Redundancy is a programme which offers advice, guidance and re-training opportunities to those at risk of redundancy or who have been made redundant in the past 6 months. It gives early support to certify existing skills, and provide appropriate training to improve opportunities in the job market for when workers are made redundant.

To access the training it is necessary for each employee to have an Information, and Advice session with one of our skills brokers, which will last roughly one hour and will:

• Assess the current skills of the individual
• Discuss the desired direction of the individual's career
• Discuss training options to improve existing skills or change career direction.

Additionally, Response to Redundancy can provide outplacement training workshops, which cover CV preparation, job search and interview techniques, for example. Normally the one to one sessions and the workshops take place on company premises but if this is not possible we will arrange them at a location convenient for you.

If your one-to-one Information and Advice session identifies training to help improve your job prospects, Response to Redundancy can offer funding to support the training.
