FIND OUT ABOUT EDUCATIONAL AND EMPLOYMENT OPTIONS AT THANET’S GATEWAY PLUS

New educational and employment opportunities will be offer at Thanet’s Gateway Plus, as part of their New Year, New You campaign.

Originally launched at the start of 2011, the aim of New Year, New You is to help people who want to make a change to their lives. The latest stage will see an Education and Employment Fair being held on Tuesday 1 March from 10.00am to 4.00pm in Thanet’s Gateway Plus in Cecil Street, Margate.

Amongst the organisations taking part are Kent Adult Education, the Army, the Channel Chamber of Commerce, Thanet College, the Open University, TNG, who help individuals get back to work or set up and run a business, and Next Step, which offers support on getting a job and planning your career. You can also find out more about volunteering and the benefits this can bring, with groups such as the Sport Matters Volunteering Programme and VAWK (Voluntary Action Within Kent) also on hand.

Gateway Manager, Stephen Meades, said: “Our New Year, New You campaign has got off to a really successful start and now we’re aiming to follow up on that with our latest event. In the current climate, so many people are looking for education and employment opportunities and we want to do what we can to help them. There are a lot of different organisations in Thanet to help local people and this is your chance to come along and meet them and see what they can do for you.”
