Mediation Plus – the community mediation service for Eastbourne and
Wealden - are launching a new series of one-day workshops to help people take a
fresh look at their skills and how they
communicate.
‘Get to Go’ is aimed at people over 19 who are currently unemployed or
out of the workforce who are looking to get back into training, education,
employment or volunteering in the Wealden and Eastbourne areas.
The one-day workshops – funded through the European Social Fund and
Skills Funding Agency Community Grants scheme - will be running in Crowborough,
Eastbourne, Hailsham, Heathfield and Uckfield from late October. They have been
specially designed to help improve the participants confidence and communication
skills.
The day will combine practical opportunities to take a fresh look at how
to use current skills and interests to move to the next stage, and will conclude
in January with a networking event with the chance to meet with local
businesses, organisations and individuals who will talk about their experiences
and how they might help.
Mediation Plus Service Manager Clive Gross said “This is a new departure
for our organisation, but one that builds on our skills and experience as a
specialist training provider as well as many years working in our local
community, helping people to communicate clearly and build their confidence to
speak up about issues they may have.”
