Jobs and training event ahead of ‘inner east’ council meeting

Help finding new jobs and training will be on offer at a drop-in event for people living in east Leeds.

As previously reported by ESS, advisers from the NHS, Leeds City College, Leeds University and the council will be at the event from 5pm-6pm.

People from the Burmantofts and Richmond Hill, Gipton and Harehills and Killingbeck and Seacroft wards are welcome at the centre on Long Close Lane.

Coun Luke Farley, who chairs the council’s Inner East Community Committee, said: “We know that it can be difficult for people to find jobs or perhaps have the confidence to access the training available to help them develop the skills they may need to get into new job roles.

“This is especially true in our inner-city wards and the areas my colleagues and I represent.”

The drop-in event will be followed by a meeting of the committee from 6pm.
