JobSmart at Gloucestershire College has a range of courses available to help adults develop their skills, build confidence and improve their employment opportunities.

Courses may be free for eligible adults aged 19+ who are unemployed, receive certain benefits, or are working and earning under £26,800 a year. Those who don't meet the free-funding criteria may still be able to enrol by paying a course fee.

I've included our upcoming courses and start dates below. If you're supporting anyone who could benefit, please feel free to share these opportunities with them or get in touch with us to discuss their options.
