Care Workers Given Free Training

People involved in the care sector are being offered a free training course. North Lanarkshire Council aims to help improve the communication, number and computer skills of people already working in the care sector or unemployed people with an interest in the work.

Growing the Care Sector is part-financed by the European Social Fund and offers the opportunity to gain SQA qualifications in Communication and/or ICT at Access 3 or Intermediate 1 level.

This will help develop the skills to complete daily reports or care plans and achieve care qualifications. The training takes between 15 and 20 weeks.
