SECAD will be running its very successful ‘Time to Change Programme’ in Cobh in the coming months and there will be an opportunities morning held in cobh on Monday January 28. One of the aims of the Opportunities Mornings is to highlight the supports and services available in each area. Support agencies including the Department of Social Protection, VEC, FÁS, Volunteer Centre and SECAD will be present to promote the service they provide in each area.
The programme is designed for people who have lost employment in recent years and need support to move forward in a positive way. It is also for people who have been taking care of children in the home or who have been caring for someone and are starting to look at what they would like to do with the next stage of their lives. The programme focuses on supporting the participants with information and advice about looking for a new job, setting up a business / self-employment or perhaps pursuing a training course or further education
The ten week programme, which involves one 3 hour session per week, is funded by SECAD and is free to participants. The programme focuses on the following: self-esteem and personal strengths, self-confidence and encouragement, setting goals and creating plans for the future and managing change.
Inputs by specialists on adult education, career development, CV preparation and social welfare advice form an important part of the programme. There is one to one support for each participant and confidentiality is assured at all times.
“The Opportunities Morning starts at 10.00 am so that visitors can talk to the personnel on the stands. Then we listen to a key note speaker for around 45 minutes and finally we present the Certs to the participants from the previous course and we also give those participants the opportunity to talk about how the course has helped them.” said Sinead Conroy of SECAD.
