Good Work Skills is a new skills-based employment programme, offering free learning and development opportunities to people in South Yorkshire.
We offer training opportunities to gain new skills, and support to find paid employment.
Good Work Skills provides learners with the opportunity to attend the Mind Management Skills for Life training course in a unique partnership with Sheffield-based Chimp Management.
Led by Professor Steve Peters – CEO of Chimp Management, a Consultant Psychiatrist, and best-selling author of The Chimp Paradox – Chimp Management specialise in helping people understand how the mind functions so they can develop the insight and skills needed to get the best out of themselves and others.
Professor Peters has also worked with numerous Olympians and elite athletes, including Sir Chris Hoy, Victoria Pendleton and Steven Gerrard, to manage their mind and optimise their individual performance.
The CPD Accredited Chimp Management 8-session Mind Management Skills for Life Course starts this week. It covers topics such as Understanding your Mind, Stress Management and Building Quality of Life.
Good Work Skills is a free, innovative programme that supports people to achieve their employment goals. Adults will receive one-to-one support from an employment specialist and earn digital skills badges that are valued by local employers. The badges can also be used on a CV, on job sites, and in interviews.
Wellbeing and financial support is also available, and the support continues when a person secures paid employment to ensure they settle and thrive in that job role.
Sign up to Good Work Skills for free.
Our Good Work service has been appointed by the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) as an authorised training provider for the Adult Education Budget and will be helping people in South Yorkshire to improve their skills, get back to work and remain and progress in their roles.
