EMD is now working with Leeds City College, the fund manager for The Redundancy Service "Response to Redundancy" project for Yorkshire and Humberside.

The project is funded by the European Social Fund via the Skills Funding Agency. The project can pay for your training if you are under consultation or notice of redundancy, or if you are unemployed.

You must be aged 18 years or over and living or working in the Yorkshire and Humber region. You are not required to be accessing any benefits or allowances.

You will be given help to complete a Skills and Experience Analysis Form and EMD will help you by placing you on an appropriate training programme.

Both during and after the training programme we'll help you apply for and find work that's satisfying and rewarding.
