Stronger Together

Get into work

The Stronger Together partnership helps unemployed people aged 25 and over, and living in Reading or West Berkshire, who need support to get into work, start a business, or just move closer to either of these goals.

Get support

All of our support is tailored to your needs and interests. Whether you need a confidence boost, a careers plan, advice on benefits, or help finding a volunteering or work placement, we can help. Get support with all of the things which might currently be stopping you from finding work:

  • Childcare
  • Transport to or from work
  • Interview skills and outfits
  • Career planning
  • Writing CVs and job applications
  • Building your confidence
  • Searching for jobs
  • Training and vocational qualifications
