Metrolite an NLBD site
Information,
advice and guidance (IAG) sessions have taken place at Metrolite, an NLBD site
based in Wigan, to identify individual
learning needs and lead to a Communitas mobile learning centre being used to
deliver both basic and intermediate computer skills, with Wigan and Leigh
College being approached for training, such as; fork lift truck, PTLLS, NVQ
teaching assistance, Level 3 customer service and food and hygiene training.
With the
Metrolite site due to close on 16th September 2011, it is important
that the workforce are given as much support and training as possible in order
for them to have a good chance of finding alternative employment after the
closure.
The
training offered also covers 1-2-1 interviews with trained advisors and the
workforce have now completed their basic ICT training and a few have already
completed a fork lift truck course. The remaining training will commence once
Wigan and
Basic ICT training, including the European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) will arm the workforce with skills that will enable them to apply for jobs online as well as making them more employable within the job market as a whole.
