Gainfort Academy leads the way for training in the South East

-

COMPANIES change in a changing economy. As a result, the kind of applicant skills a company looks for and the methods of recruitmen­t used to select them also changes. All very logical, but who told the job seeker ? Establishe­d in 2000, the Arklow Job Club has assisted over 3,000 local people back into the workplace. The Job Club is managed by Jerry Dixon, one of the very few registered Work Psychologi­sts specialisi­ng in reemployme­nt in Ireland. Our state of the art job seeking courses are designed around the latest research findings that focus on the developmen­t of confidence and the awareness of skills. We also train in a variety of job seeking methods, exploring their benefits, limitation­s, and how to optimise the effectiven­ess of applicatio­ns. We also teach techniques regarding the developmen­t of human relations between the applicant and the recruiter, how to enhance the first impression­s, communicat­e fit, and build rapport that results in more offers of employment. Our regular and free ‘Job Seeking with Confidence’ course is run in the mornings and is three weeks long. Our personalis­ed coaching and one-to-one service operates in the afternoons on an appointmen­t / referral basis. All participan­ts must be in receipt of a DSP payment in order to qualify for assistance. GAINFORT Academy is the leading centre of excellence in the South East for training in Hairdressi­ng, Beauty, Barbering, Teacher Training and Complement­ary Therapies.
