• Live job/training course searching
• Interview practise including how to sell yourself and your skills
• Introductions to hiring employers, training providers or placements

Neuroversity is suitable for anyone interested in:

• A new work opportunity, gaining a qualification or new skill through training, a volunteering placement
• Exploring self-employment or becoming economically active
• Gaining self-confidence and socialising with others

Here’s what one recent graduate had to say: “Thank you very much for the chance to take part in Neuroversity. So much time, thought, planning and effort was put into the course.

“I learnt so much on the course for when I’m ready to move forward in my life.

“I felt fully supported throughout the course and would recommend others to attend.”

The course is free, but participants need to be residing in Liverpool City Region (Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, St. Helens, Sefton or Wirral areas), be aged over 18 and claim an unemployment benefit to take part. Participants also need to be able to commit to attending the majority of the six weekly sessions.
