The Chamber of Commerce will host an informational presentation on the National Employment Passport Programme (NEPP) "Passport2Success" on Thursday, 8 April. This event begins at 4pm at the Family Life Centre, Walkers Road.
School leavers and young people who are lacking in basic personal and career skills may get the chance to improve their employability. Each participant receives a mock ‘passport’, and earns stamps in it for successfully completing parts of the training programme. Each stamp tells a potential employer that the passport holder is skilled in a particular area.
To succeed in the programme, participants are required to be actively looking to improve their skills and demonstrate a commitment to hard work. In return, the programme will provide them practical training in job specific areas, work experience, exposure to employers and career guidance.
