Employers

Cardiff Council’s Into Work and Adult Learning teams provide local businesses with a complete pre-employment package. The teams can help to attract suitable, pre-assessed employment ready candidates.

In 2018/9 we assisted nearly 40,500 people from over 41 different locations with work-related activities and 211 employers to fill vacancies they had available across the city. In conjunction with the Job Centre, the teams hold 2 major jobs fairs every year, where thousands attend. They also hold numerous smaller job fairs in local communities.

We can provide bespoke training and support with:

• Assisting candidates to complete the job application and create a CV
• CV sifting, pre assessment screening
• Mentoring applicants to ensure they arrive to the interview well prepared
• Holding mock interviews for candidates, including interview technique sessions
• Providing employers with interview facilities and assessment centre venues
• Advising and supporting employers in the selection process
• Advertising opportunities on Social Media and high footfall buildings across the city

Cardiff Council can offer over 30 different locations spread around the city for employers to use free of charge for interviews, training and assessment.

In addition to all this, some candidates may be eligible for financial support if they are able to secure employment. These funds may be able to help them with the cost of training, travel costs, childcare, and clothes for work. The team would help to access this funding.
