Help into work if you are disabled, have a health condition or are a carer

Everybody has skills that they can bring to a job and that employers will value. But if it's been a while since you worked, you're just starting a career, or you want to try something new, training can help you to:

• build on the skills you've already got
• get new skills, and
• get qualifications that employers are looking for.

Looking at your options

There's training to suit almost every need. For example:

• you might need to improve basic skills in reading, writing or maths, or if English is not your first language
• you might want to update or adapt your existing skills, or a vocational qualification such as a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) or Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) could be a good option for you.

Speaking to a personal adviser

A Jobcentre Plus Disability Employment Adviser (DEA) should be able to help you find the training that will be right for you. DEAs are in contact with local colleges and training schemes, so they can tell you what is available and help you apply.
