## Notice

We also recognise we have a number of young people who attend college to continue their education who will require support when they finish to gain employment/work.? We are looking for a solution that will support service users to: *Complete a Vocational Profile and identify a pathway *Create a personalised CV *Undertake travel and interview skills coaching *Access further education (if needed) *Complete/submit applications; including online (where applicable) *Support with readiness for interviews *Receive information regarding benefits/income and budgeting *Receive in-work support (where applicable)
