Here at The Joseph Lappin Centre we offer an employability programme called Directions. This is a tailor made and fully integrated programme aimed at improving the employability of our community. We are passionate about improving the lives of our residents and as a result would welcome anyone who is currently unemployed to enquire about this unique service.
We offer support to anyone who is currently unemployed by:

- Helping people to write CVs, fill out application forms and improve their interview techniques.
- Working one to one with individuals to improve their confidence and self- esteem.

- Finding the right training and education for those wishing to upskill.
- Working with individuals for up to 12 weeks allowing enough time to ensure the support is meaningful and worthwhile.
- Giving information and access to the courses and training opportunities provided at The Joseph Lappin Centre.
