Employment Links Partnership

Linking local people with local jobs

Who we are

Employment Links is an initiative that we fund in partnership with the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund (NRF), European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and SRB . Our aims are to support local people into employment, whilst identifying local employers' recruitment, training and development needs.

What we do

We provide a professional and totally free of charge employment service to the people of Rochdale that is tailored to clients' individual needs, providing as much or as little advice and support as required.  Please note: We are not an agency.

We help by:

• Assisting with applications and CVs
• Offering job search and interview techniques, mock interviews, telephone techniques
• Providing career choices and action plans
• Having constantly updated vacancy information
• Being in contact with local employers
• Matching your skills to employment opportunities
• Signposting you to professional advice regarding in-work benefits
• Providing course details on all subjects from basic to higher levels
• Offering confidential interviews to discuss what’s best for you

A guide for employers
