Developing Pathways to Employment

Every effort will be made to match your current skills/experience/qualifications to a job that fits perfectly. Everyone wants to upskill though…

Our Development Pathway aims to provide work experience leading to apprenticeships, qualifications, further training and employment for those with limited skills/experience.

Key Skills has partnered with various providers to source further training options. In
most cases this will be paid by you through weekly deductions from your wage, in some cases KSR or your workplace will cover these costs.
