Ex-offenders do community work
Ex-offenders in Croydon are to receive more support to get back into work after a charity landed new funding.
Catch22 is to expand its apprenticeship and employability support programme after lodging a successful bid with the Apprenticeships Applications Support Fund.
CV support, interview skills and coaching workshops are among the support the charity provides.
Marcus Hook, head of apprenticeships and employability, said: "Catch22 are committed to developing its apprenticeships and employability provision for vulnerable young people and adults.
"Catch22 are really pleased to receive this support which will ensure we can help even more ex-offenders and care leavers into suitable apprenticeships and employment."
