Amazon Jobs Project
The Amazon Jobs Project in partnership with Barnardo's is coming to Birmingham!
This is an 8-10 week course that, if completed, results in a guaranteed interview at the Peddimore Amazon EMA4 site.
The last cohort in Coventry was an unbelievable success, having 10 out of 10 young people start work at Amazon, so this is a fantastic opportunity if you are aged 18-29 to get back into employment.
Please find below some information for what is offered on the course.
The Jobs Project
The project is 8-10 weeks, and it focuses on getting young people ready for work. We help build confidence, develop one-to-one interaction and help young people learn about lifestyle, routine, budgeting, and the benefits of working.
Support is provided to enable you to find the right positive destination. This project includes:
- Travel and food expenses reimbursed (local travel prices considered)
- One-to-one mentoring
- Exploration of target and goal setting skills
- Effective employability workshops
- Confidence building workshops tailored to the group needs
- Finance and accommodation information
- Opportunities for peer work and development of team building skills
- Guaranteed interview at Amazon upon completion of the 8 weeks
- And much more!
