A new prospectus was launched on Friday, May 9, 2025, detailing the training and support available for people looking to learn new skills for their careers.
Four skills and employment hubs are based in Chester, Ellesmere Port, Northwich, and Winsford.
Previously known as work zones, these hubs provide a base to deliver employment support and an adult learning programme.
They support people who want to develop new skills before working and those already in work looking to improve their prospects.
The skills and employment service offers adult learning and training, including the skills and employment hubs, outreach, and courses delivered by partners in areas ranging from beauty treatments to forklift truck training.
The new prospectus showcases these services and will help residents to decide which service could assist them.
The prospectus was launched at an event last week at Winsford skills and employment hub, showcasing the work of the skills and employment team and the support on offer to help people develop new skills or progress in their career or job search.
During the launch day, the Winsford skills and employment hub ran a functional skills English course and an interview skills session.
Cheshire West and Chester Councillor Nathan Pardoe, cabinet member for inclusive economy, regeneration and digital transformation, said: "Skills and employment has been part of Cheshire West and Chester Council since it began, and I am extremely proud of the work the council teams do and the glowing feedback they receive from residents.
"The teams are an inspiration, they put residents first, understand them, and build their confidence - they don’t blame or berate, they support and encourage."
