Boost: Job Club provides opportunities to look for vacancies, work on applications and prepare for interviews with support from our Boost staff and volunteers.  Participants also work towards a King's Trust Award in Personal Development and Employability.

The programme consists of 2 and a half hour sessions once a week for 12 weeks and is part workshop, part doing: participants learn job-hunting skills in the first half, then put them into practice in the second. 

All stages of the job application process are supported including: finding jobs to apply for; researching careers, employers and companies; understanding workplace behaviours and skills; CVs; cover letters and preparing for interview.

Participants can focus on their own goals during the second part of the session, whether that's working towards training or employment, or developing their own youth led business start-up.
