Jobcentres in Pembrokeshire are planning for a busy 2025, focusing on partnerships and support for jobseekers.
Pembrokeshire: Jobcentre staff are getting ready for a busy 2025. After a solid 2024, they’re keen on teaming up with local businesses to help fill job openings.
For those looking for work, the coaches at the jobcentre offer a bunch of support services. This includes training and even voluntary work experience to help boost their chances.
They also have disability employment advisors who provide specialized services, acting as a launchpad for new careers. Plus, there are partner organizations ready to help folks improve their IT skills.
With so many people applying for jobs, it’s super important for jobseekers to make their applications stand out. An impressive CV can be the ticket to landing an interview.
Once they get to the interview stage, they’ll need to shine among other candidates. That’s where partner organizations come in, helping jobseekers polish their skills to be the best they can be.
There are also free training courses available to help jobseekers boost their chances in the job market. Pembrokeshire is known for its tourism and hospitality, so employers in these areas are always on the lookout for more staff.
As the seasons change, especially from spring to summer, the demand for workers peaks, and it stays busy through autumn and into the holiday season.
If hospitality isn’t the long-term plan, there are plenty of other job opportunities in care work, retail, construction, and more across the county.
For those thinking about self-employment, there are organizations that can help with that too. Jobseekers on benefits should chat with their Jobcentre work coach about their options.
Even those not on benefits can check out the Careers Wales website for info and set up an appointment with an advisor.
Right now, there are job openings in almost every sector, so it’s crucial for jobseekers to know where to look. The green energy sector is also expected to grow in the next few years.
Fred Hatton from the Pembrokeshire DWP Employer and Partnership Team mentioned that since the pandemic, job opportunities have been improving year by year.
He emphasized that it’s important for everyone to take steps that not only improve their lives but also contribute to the local economy.
Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall MP added that the government is focused on creating opportunities and breaking down barriers to success across the country.
With wages on the rise, they’re working to boost living standards and get the economy moving as part of their Plan for Change, ensuring every young person has a chance to earn or learn.
