Summary
Project Search is a work focused course based on a host employers' premises. It is a partnership between City College Norwich, Remploy and a host employer. Currently we run two projects one at the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital and the other at Norse Commercial Services. Each student undertakes three different work placements throughout the year. Each placement last for 10 - 12 weeks and the student is fully supported by a mentor in the workplace.
There is a one hour classroom session each day which covers;
Health and safety in the work place,
Healthy lifestyle and being fit for work,
Interview skills,
CV writing,
'Dress to impress',
Budgeting skills,
Independent travel and job search skills.
The aim of Project Search is that the students will gain paid employment. The students will be supported at every stage of this process, from application to interview and starting the job. There is ongoing support for each student after the course has finished. This support is provided by Mint and Remploy who will continue to work with the student for as long as needed.
The course runs from Monday to Friday 9am - 3:30pm and the group will contain a maximum of twelve students.
