Access Programmes
Access programmes are designed to give you a taste of what working in a particular job is like. You'll learn key skills you'll need for any job as well as skills for that particular job. You'll also go on work placements and get hands on experience.
Youth Services offer the following Access programmes:These both start in September of each year, so if you're interested, get in touch early!
