Ready for Work
Ready for Work is a programme that equips homeless people, or those at risk of homelessness, with the confidence and skills to re-enter the job market. Part of the BAOH campaign, Ready for Work operates in partnership with local businesses, hostels and other agencies for homeless people to deliver pre-employment training, work experience placements and post-placement support.
Ready to Go
A two day pre-employment training session for clients. Ready to Go clients explore personal issues such as self-esteem, motivational skills, hopes and aspirations as well as practical training in CV preparation and interview techniques.
Ready for Work
Ready for Work is our two-week work placement programme. Placements are brokered between hostels and employers to place clients recently engaged in Ready to Go, and prepared to enter the workplace with renewed confidence.
Action day
When the placement has been completed successfully, BAOH runs an action day - a signposting exercise to define the next steps for moving into work.
Post-placement support
Keeping clients motivated after they have completed their work placement is crucial. Our companies provide employee volunteers to act as job coaches for our clients for at least six months. We also provide an opportunity for further training and networking through Client Support Networks.
