Ignition Pathways is a training and support programme, run by JERICHO, which eouips volunteers from churches and other voluntary organisations with the skills they need to deliver practical job search support and guidance to local unemployed people.
"Without the support of the job club, I would not have a CV, or be able to apply for jobs - you have given me hope again."
Activity
Comprehensive support materials are provided and can be delivered as a weekly course, used as part of an on-going drop-in, job club or as one-to-one support and mentoring. Newly developed workbooks and support guides are ideal for situations where remote support is required.
Time
Once the training has been completed the work can be begin very quickly. Most Job Clubs run for 2-3 hours one morning a week and some operate alongside other social action activities e.g. foodbanks or advice sessions
Cost
Jericho ask Ignition partners for a small contribution towards costs of just £50.00 per year.

Resources
You will need an appropriate room with internet access, a laptop (ideally three or four), printer, and use of a mobile phone.
