We can help you make initial Universal Credit applications, create CVs, help with job applications, interview skills, IT skills, confidence building etc.
For individuals who do not have access to IT or who are not confident using computers we have projects that run from the Citizens’ Advice Bureau in Wick and Thurso.
- Thurso runs Monday to Thursday 10.00am – 2.00pm and
- Wick runs on a Monday and Friday 10.00am – 2.00pm.
