Training Opportunity

You could benefit from heavily-subsidised training being provided by the Explore Braunton Project. Explore Braunton is a community initiative, funded in part by Devon Renaissance, one of whose aims is to assist people into work. To this end we are offering Coast and Countryside Leader training, which is part of the South West Mountain and Moorland Leader Training Scheme. It is a fun, informative and useful course for anyone with an interest in the countryside, particularly that around Braunton.
As part of the course, we are offering Appointed Person First Aid awards,
which are a prerequisite of the course. We will also provide contacts and opportunities for you so that you can put your training to good use.

To be eligible, you must be:
• of working age (16-59 for women and 16-64 for men) and:

• unemployed (out of work, want a job, have actively sought work in the last 4 weeks and are ready to start in the next fortnight or are out of work and have accepted a job that you are waiting to start in the next fortnight)
OR:
• economically inactive (are either not looking for or are not available for work e.g. looking after the family and home, students and those who are long-term sick or disabled)
OR:
• in employment at risk (in paid employment but at risk of losing your job e.g. have received a statutory redundancy notification)

We begin with a day’s first aid training on Friday 5th September.
The two day Coast and Countryside Leader course follows on
Monday and Tuesday 15th and 16th September.

Participants are required to pay a £15 registration fee and bring a packed lunch,
course fees will be met by the Explore Braunton project.

Places are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
