Forward to Work Ltd has developed a unique program to assist the long-term unemployed back into work. It has run a dozen courses since 2003, with over seventy attendees, and is endorsed and supported by Furness Enterprise, of Barrow-in-Furness. The program begins by taking the participants on a two-day 'experience', to Borrowdale in the Lake District. There they take part in team-building exercises, and an 'adventure', such as gill-scrambling. Classroom sessions on topics such as CV's, interviews and job hunting follow, interspersed with one to one coaching sessions with their job tutor. Support continues long after the formal part of the course ends. Westbay Technology has produced a 9½ minute long narrated CD show describing the program and its background. This provides Forward to Work with an informative, interesting introduction to its course, which it is now exporting to agencies outside Barrow. The DynaShowTM Presentation can illustrate all the key aspects of the program that Course Architect Tim Melville wants to get over, before visiting prospective users of the course. Far more information is imparted, in an easy to absorb way, than could possibly be incorporated in a promotional leaflet for instance. If you would like a copy of the Forward to Work CD, as an illustration of the sort of presentation that is possible, please e-mail your request to Jeff Chambers. We would be grateful if you would include some brief details of your organisation, your possible area of application, and of course your postal address.
