We were pleased to partner with Cirencester Chamber of Commerce to deliver the Work Skills Forum🙌

Over the course of the week, young people developed employability skills, met local employers, and took part in mock interviews, leaving with greater confidence and a better understanding of their strengths.

Thank you to Mainstream Digital and Cotswold Labels and Signs for welcoming participants and sharing valuable insights into the world of work.

Hannah Hockley, Joint Vice President, Cirencester Chamber of Commerce: We were delighted to work with the Employment and Skills Hub to deliver the Work Skills Forum. It was great to see the participants grow in confidence throughout the week and to have such valuable support from local businesses.
