Employment and training

We provide access to employment and training in North Somerset.

Our Community Learning team works with people from disadvantaged communities helping them to overcome practical, childcare and confidence barriers and to take that all-important first step back into lifelong learning.

New Deal is a key part of the Government's strategy to get people back to work.

It gives people on benefits the help and support they need to look for work, including training and job preparation.

The programme is part of the Welfare to Work strategy and tailored to meet the needs of various groups and is delivered locally through the government's employment services.

People with disabilities have the same rights as non-disabled people in relation to employment and training opportunities within North Somerset.

They have the same rights as non-disabled employees over issues such as maternity leave and protection against unfair dismissal.

Most educational institutions also operate policies which fully integrate disabled people within mainstream education and training courses.
