A TRAINING centre offering a holistic approach to get unemployed people back into a meaningful career will officially open in the new year.

Go-Train, which already has 19 centres in the UK offering training for unemployed adults will open on Sanford Street in January.

The company has a unique approach to help people back to work. It runs 3-week courses on health and wellbeing and discusses where job seekers would like to see themselves to find the appropriate course for them.

Centre manager Gayle Harper told the Adver: "What we do is more all-encompassing to get people ready for work.

"We can help them find out what interests them, what motivates them, to give them the right mindset towards employment. As well as health and well being, and what they are buying to feed themselves and their family

"Once you put these building blocks together you can build confidence and it makes them more assertive about what they want to achieve."

The training centre will offers workshops to help build people's confidence to get them ready for an interviews as well as improve their digital presence, as social media is increasingly used as a tool for employers to research candidates.

"We running in a very time-short place with employers and job seekers," she added.

"We can have discussions about where they see themselves going so we can focus on what will be appropriate course for them.

"we work to get the best fit as soon as possible so people aren't looking for another job four weeks later."

Steven Wines, Go Train chief executive, told the Adver: "What we are trying to do is build a bridge between the employers and the people with the skills to take that opportunity.

"There are plenty of opportunities here in Swindon, it's about matching their skills with those that employers are looking for.

"It's also about personal development, progression, and supporting people on that that journey, giving them the skills and seeing what they can do with them."
