Un Sir Gar is coming to town

Un Sir Gar is launching a brand new Hub in Llanelli town centre to help residents get back into work, education and training.

Un Sir Gar is one of a kind and brings together all advice, information, education, voluntary, housing, and employment opportunities in the county.

It is a one stop shop, based in Llanelli town centre, and a freephone number of 0800 9173 408, which aims to make life a lot easier for those people who want to return to work, education and training, or are unsure of the right path for them.

Experienced advisers, who have extensive knowledge of all the opportunities and services available, will identify a personal path for each client according to their skills, experience and needs. It could be a job, a community or voluntary post to build confidence prior to searching for paid employment; it could be apprenticeship opportunities with local businesses, work experience with appropriate organisations, housing concerns, or training in a wide and varied range of industries and skills. Ongoing support will also be provided.

As of this summer, Un Sir Gar Hub will also go on the road and visit various locations around Carmarthenshire, to ensure easy access for all residents. Locations and dates will be revealed soon. The hub will open with a jobs fair on Thursday 15 from 10am.

People who want to return to work, young people looking to commence their working career or those finding it difficult to decide on the right path for them, can all be helped through Un Sir Gar, which is aimed at all age groups.

The project is supported by key partners including Job Centre Plus, Coleg Sir Gar, Careers Wales and Carmarthenshire County Council, who share the ambition to provide a unique, seamless approach to supporting people with learning and employment needs.

Un Sir Gar can be accessed at 36 Stepney Street, Llanelli, or via www.onecarmarthenshire.co.uk or freephone 0800 9173 408 from Thursday May 15.
