GiveGetGo Closing the gaps - Employability Day with ERSA 2019

GiveGetGo – it’s not what you do, it’s how you do it!

Employability Day with ERSA 2019 28 June

Social enterprises are succeeding in closing the employment gaps, outside the mainstream, doing things differently. Join us on National Employability Day in Liverpool; meet with Unltd and Osca, the social innovation Lab; hosted by Liverpool-based Transform Lives Company (TLC) and partners.

GiveGetGo is Liverpool’s only volunteering and jobs programme that is supported by One Ark and a host of housing associations, The University of Liverpool, civic and anchor institutions and venues.

It’s also one of the UK’s few ‘Good Help’ Awardees and winner of ERSAAwards.

We’re part of national efforts on Employability Day all dedicated to celebrating success, sharing ideas about good help in employment support, exploring challenges and advancing the idea of ‘people helping people’ to find employment. Come and find out how you can be a part of that!!
