Fair Cities Outreach Courses and Post Course Support Research

January 2007 – March 2008

How much time do you give yourself? This course is designed to give people the chance to explore their ideas and goals in a safe environment. The course will enable you to learn how to set goals, how to create an action plan for your future, how to recognise your current skills and how these may transfer in the workplace. You will create a C.V. and learn interview techniques. My Time has access to the Fair Cities jobs database and you can access information about the latest job opportunities in many different sector areas.

Attending a Fair Cities course will enable you to work towards achieving a My Time Certificate in Developing Skills in Gaining Employment.
