Training for single parents

Would you like to get back to work but don't know where to start?  Do you want support in making changes to your life?

At Gingerbread, we understand how difficult and daunting it can feel if you haven’t worked for a while, or have never worked, so we run courses to help.  We also know that making changes to your life and future prospects can be hard, especially if there's no one to talk to.  We have experienced professionals who can support you through it all.

What kind of courses does Gingerbread offer?

We run two types of courses.  If you want advice on which kind of course would be right for you, then contact us.  To see if there are funded courses in your area, look at our latest timetable.

1. Prepare for work courses
If you are actively thinking about returning to work but need a confidence boost and want to learn about the best ways of getting and keeping job, these free courses could be for you. They usually combine three days of work preparation training linked to a two-week work experience placement with an employer.  To find out more about the different courses we run, click here.

2. Personal development courses
If you want to start making changes to your life, meet new people, and get involved in activities which can lead on to brighter prospects for you and your family, our personal development courses could help. To find out more about the different personal development courses we run, click here.

Our training for single parents is funded with help from the European Social Fund.
