    Positive Action Training

 

Upturn’s Positive Action Training project aims to give long-term unemployed people from target groups, a real chance of getting into permanent employment.

It achieves this by recruiting them into the project offering the participant a 12 month temporary contract either within Upturn or another community-based organisation. Throughout this 12 month programme participants develop work-based skills, gain qualifications, build confidence and develop the experience they need to secure employment.
