| Welcome to SWITCH- Cymru
Learning
Switch can help you with learning all sorts of new things; whether
for fun, to keep up with the children, do more to help your
community or to help your job prospects. What is different about
SWITCH is that you can do so at a local community centre run
by local volunteers who will give you support and help. There
are all sorts of courses and materials that you can look at
available over the internet and we'll also be running short
courses at your local centre. If you're not used to computers
we will help you. We can help with reading, writing, number
skills and learning to use computers plus a whole lot more.
Employment and Training
In time Switch intends to help people improve their job prospects
whether or not you are currently in work. The learning option
can help you to gain new skills and some of the internet links
available will give advice on what skills you need for a particular
job. There is also information on job vacancies "on-line".
In time we want to develop a much better service at local centres
giving advice on training and job opportunities. Help us to
develop this.
Advice and
guidance
Some of the centres involved in Switch already offer an excellent
range of advice services to their communities. In time we want
to extend this to all of the centres, so they will all be able
to offer advice on benefits, legal issues, housing, immigration,
dealing with bodies like the Council, Health service, gas, electricity
etc.
Volunteering and more
active communities
One of our intentions is to help communities help themselves.
We want people to become more active, to volunteer to help out
with making them better places to live. We will need volunteers
with all sorts of skills but the most important things are to
have a genuine interest and energy. We can provide the training
and support to help you get new skills. Being a volunteer could
even help with job prospects. Interested?
Health
For almost all the communities involved in Switch, health matters
are a big issue. In the long term Switch would like to do things
to improve people's health. |
