We know getting into work can seem quite scary if you've been out of work for a while or if you've never had a job. Our Way in2Work Programme can help you build your confidence and gain work related skills, which all helps to make you more employable.

Our adult work experience placements have been suspended until the current government restrictions have been eased, please check back here for further updates.

If you're unsure about how work experience can help you get a job, you can click here to read our case studies.

We want you to succeed so our Way in2Work programme is tailored to your needs. As well as part time work experience, we will give you the tools and support to track and record your new skills and experience and show you how to use these to get the job.

We provide support with CV’s and job searching, one to one appointments to break down any barriers into work, competency based interview training through Bolton College and accredited qualifications to enhance your chances of finding work. We even offer an online Life Coaching programme called Transform and Achieve: click here to find out more about Transform and Achieve Life Coaching.

The Way in2Work programme is available to all Bolton residents over 18 who are looking to get into work.

Even though our work experience placements are currently suspended, we can still help.

From day one of employment, we'll offer 6 months support to help you overcome any barriers you may find when starting in new employment.

This ranges from financial issues to getting the right clothing for the job. Support is offered either by email, phone or face to face and we encourage you to contact us regularly so we can ensure no problems are left for any length of time. 

Working Wardrobe has been set up to tackle another barrier into employment that so many men and women face today. That barrier is the lack of suitable clothing to wear in order to make a good first impression at the interview.
