Community Learning and Development Device Fund 2023 (360G-SCVO-a13N2000002tajGIAQ)
This project will purchase three laptops to expand the support our Voluntary Action Training staff can offer individuals to identify employment opportunities, and build the skills to apply in the digital format that many employers now prefer. The devices will be used in a combination of training sessions on our premises and a lending library of the devices should the service user need to work on an application statement or CV in more detail at home, needs will be assessed on a case by case basis. The current team of two social employment advisors work closely with individuals facing multiple barriers to employment, each advisor currently uses their own laptop to train individuals in digital skills, demonstrating how to open, compose and send e-mails, attach files such as CV’s and download and edit employment Application forms. This addition of three more devices, will enable the team to deliver group training sessions – as we have identified a need for this service from working with individuals believing themselves to be the only ones who lack digital skills, therefore group training could remove the stigma, and enhance confidence and digital skills of those struggling to find employment in our remote island community.
