Webinars with 'top tips' for applying for jobs available for Leicestershire residents

"The new year is a great time to be thinking about future goals and career aspirations."

Webinars that aim to boost confidence and skills when applying for jobs are being hosted by Leicestershire County Council.

The authority’s Digital Leicestershire team is collaborating with BT Group to offer residents free sessions in January and February.

The one-hour online slots will be delivered by the BT Group and will cover job applications, CVs, interviews and assessment centres.

Councillor Pam Posnett, cabinet member for communities, said: “These webinars come at a perfect time for our residents. 

“The new year is a great time to be thinking about future goals and career aspirations. I hope these webinars help build individuals confidence and help them access employment.

“Anyone can sign up and join – and we’d particularly encourage people looking for work or thinking of moving into a new career to get involved.”

All of the sessions will be held on Microsoft Teams and will run between 1-2pm:
