Course Summary

CPO offer a range of support to give individuals opportunities to reengage with learning or work and develop their overall wellbeing. We currently work with unemployed adult community members and young people.

The Building Better Opportunities (BBO) programme is designed for unemployed individuals aged 25 and over to help improve life prospects. The project is delivered in CPO’s training rooms, also through Facebook group discussions, welfare phone calls and text messages.  Participants can complete the Humber LEP Employability Skills Passport and develop new skills to help them gain the knowledge to enter the labour market. The BBO project also focuses on identifying participants current wellbeing issues and work towards specific targets enabling them to feel more capable of returning to work. We provide participants with the emotional support they need, through 1:2:1 and group sessions.  We can offer additional counselling support by a referral to MIND.
