Education and training: new support from Working Chance
A conviction can disrupt education plans. Often, women who have been through the justice system don't get a fair chance at gaining the qualifications they need to find a job. But we're here to help. We have grown our service - beyond employability - to now help women access education and training courses. ?
We now provide support to help women access functional skills in English and maths, apprenticeships, academic or vocational qualifications or university education.
