RHP's ONE Event 2012 - Date to be announced soon! Keep checking back for more information on work, training and volunteering in the meantime, and follow us on Twitter @RHP_UK...
The ONE Event was a completely free event, aimed at helping RHP customers and local people find work as well as training opportunities to increase their chances of getting a job. The day included information on recruitment from local and national employers, as well as advice and assistance from a number of organisations who are experts at helping people find jobs or training that can help them build a career. Over 400 visitors attended the event, and we have had excellent feedback.
Skills workshops and taster sessions were running throughout the day and were well attended, plus Channel 4’s ‘Fairy Jobmother’ Hayley Taylor was available offer encouragement to visitors struggling to find work at the moment, and her sessions were a great success. If you missed out on a free bamboo USB memory stick, all of the information that was pre-loaded on these is now available to download on the right of this page, (will require Adobe Acrobat).
