Back to work session
As part of the effort’s to return to work following my redundancy earlier in the summer, I was required to attend a back to work session recently.
Initially and I’m not quite sure why, I had the vision of some of the job club scenes from the league of gentleman, but thankfully it was nothing like that and was actually a quite useful session.
My only issues about the session was that in all honesty the information you got, particularly on some of the training and guidance options would have been even more useful to me if I’d be aware of them weeks ago, as I could (like some of the other in attendance) have accessed the services a lot sooner, and the venue for the session seemed a little strange as it was at the Adult Education Centre in New Mills, which whilst not very difficult to get to, at least for my session at least seemed to have quite a few of those in attendance (including the job centre people) travelling across from Glossop to provide the service.
I only hope in sense that some of the services I will be wanting to access will be faster than the training arranged as part of the job centre’s rapid response, which despite part of the assessment for it taking place in June, I’ve only just attended the final assessment last week !
