Employability Skills workshop 1

Merton Chamber of Commerce are working in partnership with Wimbledon School of English to deliver these workshops monthly.

We have designed this programme of support for Kickstarters to meet in a peer to peer environment. Where you can learn about the world of work and to equip yourselves with the broad skill set you will require to be successful in work.

What you can expect from these workshops

These workshops will be help in person - following COVID-19 guidelines.

We are also offering participants the opportunity to attend online if preferred. Those participating in person will be requested to take a Lateral Flow Test prior to attending.

These sessions are interactive. You will be expected to take part in discussions, answer questions and in role plays.

If you are online, please have your camera on for the session;

We would ask that you switch on your camera, and where possible, find a quiet place to sign up to the workshop so that background noise is minimal.
