Following the award of a grant from Welsh Government, planning for the new Economy Hub at Fishguard Library is now well underway.
To help with the development of the Hub, Pembrokeshire Libraries would like to hear from the library’s users and local residents.
A survey will be taking place in the facility for two weeks, starting on Monday,1st June, to find out more about how library users and local residents access information on a range of financial, business and career-related topics.
In association with JobCentre Plus, the Hub will be a discreet area of the library where people can get advice and information on financial matters such as job-seeking, careers, business start-ups – as well as welfare and debt advice.
Due to open next February, it will include a private consultation room equipped with laptop and printer for one-to-one consultations and discussions.
It will also include a dedicated area for specialised books and other resources relating to such issues as job-seeking, writing CVs, interview skills and debt advice.
The aim is to work with a range of partners to ensure that a regular programme of support activities, events and training opportunities are available from the Hub for the benefit of local people. The aim is to help to reduce barriers to work and improve skills development in the area.
