READY FOR WORK - Business in the Community
Ready for Work is one of Ireland’s most innovative social programmes. It offers work placements to people affected by homelessness. The programme was developed to tackle the direct causes and consequences of homelessness in a dynamic way.
This is carried out by working with service providers and business partners to provide homeless people with 2 days of training and a two week placement within a company, with follow up support provided by Training & Employment Officers and voluntary Job Coaches from the business sector. The training was devised specifically for marginalized groups and centres on visualization, motivation, action plans and change. Beacon Coaching Consultancy is proud to be one of the support companies for this programme.
