On the Road to Employment Summary 1. The On the Road to Employment project provided computer training, personal development and job search training for unemployed women in rural North Warwickshire wanting to return to work. The training was given aboard a specially equipped bus which drove to a different village each day of the week for a ten week period per term. Regular use was made of village premises for job search and personal development training. Six women so far have gone to jobs and four to further training.
Some home study is set each week.
To qualify for the course, women had to be unemployed for a year or more or to fulfil other criteria. Eleven applicants were refused places as they did not meet the criteria. Trainees were able to claim a daily allowance to pay for childcare and all training was in school time 7.
