After the successes of Kickstart, we’re keeping the momentum going, matching employers with great local talent with TLC Talent Pool

About this event

It’s no secret that the labour market has suffered over the past few years. Following the pandemic, employers are finding it harder and harder to recruit quality staff and are having to rethink their old recruitment methods.

Here at TLC, we know that there’s spades of local talent out there, but employers often have trouble reaching them. That’s where we come in.

We helped over 200 people to find employment through the Kickstart scheme – but we don’t intend on stopping now that Kickstart has come to an end.

We put time and care into our employment support, giving people the best possible tools they’ll need to succeed in the world of work. That’s why TLC matters – we’re not about quick fixes, we’re about more than a little TLC.

Join us for cake and nibbles as we celebrate the successes of Kickstart and launch the TLC Talent Pool: a new way to match potential employers with quality local talent who have a lot to offer.

National Employability Day with Social Enterprise Kent (SEK)  #WeFillVacancies  #EmpDay22

Date: Friday 17^th June 2022

Time: 10am – 3pm

Location:  One Job Centre in each of the following areas: Thanet, Ashford, Folkestone, Dover, Canterbury

Event theme: 136 People in 136 Days. The current SEK employability projects are now in their final year of working with participants. We want to make sure this last year is the best yet and that we reach out to as many people possible who would benefit from our support. SEK specialises in supporting people with complex barriers to move closer to and into the labour market. Whilst we do CVs, cover letters, applications, interviews techniques, skills analysis etc. Our main focus has always been to empower people through building confidence, skills and knowledge, to provide a deeper level of understanding of how to access and stay in work. The core of our work is to enable people to develop strategies to overcoming their specific barriers, even if these are seemingly unrelated to employment. This holistic approach enables people to open doors that may have been closed to them for many years.
