Yesterday, we were pleased to welcome Lucy Franklin, Recruitment Consultant from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), Rusholme and Didsbury Jobcentre Plus, to the Ethnic Health Forum office.
The meeting provided an excellent opportunity to strengthen our partnership and explore new ways of supporting local communities.
Our discussions focused on progressing the English Conversation Club Programme, helping people improve their English language skills, confidence, and employability.
We also explored opportunities for work experience placements for Jobcentre Plus clients, creating pathways for individuals to gain valuable workplace experience, develop new skills, and improve their chances of securing meaningful employment.
At Ethnic Health Forum, we believe that collaboration is key to empowering communities, reducing barriers to employment, and promoting social inclusion.
We look forward to working closely with Department for Work & Pensions and Jobcentre Plus to deliver positive outcomes for the people we support.
Thank you, Lucy, for visiting us and for a productive and inspiring discussion. We look forward to seeing these plans become a reality. 👏
