What is My Chance, My Future?
My Chance, My Future is a project which is funded by the European Structural and Investment Funds and is a Community Led Local Development which is aimed to support unemployed people closer to the labour market and ultimately back in to work.
My Chance My Future will give you the opportunity to explore the history and heritage through the arts, culture, and leisure in your town and the local area. You will be able to connect with the past and rediscover the history and arts that’s on your doorstep. The delivery of the project will include trips to local heritage sites along with classroom-based learning, work taster sessions, volunteering opportunities as well as exploring employment opportunities in the area. As part of the 12-weeks, your group will be asked to organise an event or trip which you will have ownership of. Enrolling on the course will involve teamwork, budgeting and good decision making and along the way you will develop a range of employability and personal skills.
