Testimonals

"The Jobclub helped me to focus, or refocus on the job market.  An important part of the job seeking process is having an excellent CV & Cover Letter appropriate to each particular role.  It was very encouraging to find all the  information we needed in one building. We could access the internet and jobsites daily. Positive thinking was encouraged, and the help they provided was second to none. The Job Club is the first step for someone who finds themselve unemployed and somewhat lost for direction."

"My Job Club Experience" 

By Mark Ward, Former Job Club Participant.

I reluctantly went to the Job Club, rather apprehensive about how it could help me or serve any purpose to get back to work.

I arrived on my first day and was warmly welcomed by the Co-ordinator, Maura and introduced to the other participants which put me at ease immediately.

Maura informed us what to expect from the Job Club and asked us in turn if we needed help in a particular area in order to overcome difficulties each of us could face.

I spoke to Maura and told her that I knew what I wanted to do, though I did not think it was possible. My ambition is to work with young people from disadvantaged of dysfunctional backgrounds. Maura encouraged me to follow my dream and helped me to do so.

I am now working on CE in the community, I will be going to College in September to study Youth and Community. I also coach youth at football with the community.

The Job Club format, the help and encouragement I got from the Co-ordinator combined, helped me get on course to a career I did not think possible. I learned skills and became aware of what is available out there and not to restrict myself to settling for any job just for the sake of it.

I am very grateful for all I have learned in the Job Club and would highly recommend it.
