Invite, Intraining, NCG, Jobcentre Plus Work Programme, Leicester, Welcome to InFIT
Your guide to our motivational and goal setting course - InFIT.
Introduction to InFit.
At Intraining we realise that taking the first steps back into work can be daunting, especially if you have been unemployed for long time or feel a little lost getting back into the job market. This course will help you understand your goals based on the type of person you are and how to use this knowledge to get the best out of what's available to you in the world of work.
We want to make sure our time together is as useful as possible. This means finding the best fit between:
Who you are?
What you want?
What's available?
Course Overview.
InFIT is our unique programme, aimed at making you think differently about how you approach your search for work. It will help you take ownership of your own career plan, giving you a focus and a clear route to the job you want and how you wish to develop in that job.
During InFIT, one of our trained coaches will work with you and your small group to identify your barriers and help you to talk about planning your own journey to success. You'll work through exercises and activities to become sure about what you want and understand how to get there.
It will be a relaxed and informal learning environment where you'll meet new people and explore new ideas. You'll increase your own confidence which you can then build in throughout your Work Programme journey with intraining.
At InFIT we might be the experts in finding different ways to help you look for work, but you are the expert on you. It's an opportunity to find out more about what makes you tick and how the work you get can help you to be at your best, more of the time.
We will go over the following areas, utilising interactive tools and techniques:
Building rapport and communicating effectively
Setting and achieving personal outcomes
Staying in a positive state
Presentation Styles
The most effective job search techniques
Team work
We will work with you, as part of a group to help you find out what's stopping you from being in the job you want. We then cover all the different things you could be doing to move yourself from where you are now to where you want to be.
Most of the course is group activities and working in pairs - we take it at your pace and ensure that everyone gets the chance to participate as much or a little as they need. We will adjust the course to the needs of the group, making sure that we're not wasting time.
Outcomes
By the end of the course you will:
Have the confidence to identify your own personal goals.
Gain the strength to make the right decisions
Believe in your own abilities
Duration
The course lasts two days and will be delivered in one of the teaching classrooms. You will also have the opportunity to take the Empro* test, which will support your InFit course.
*You can find out more about Empro in our Welcome Leaflet (EMP002)
People who have been on the course say:
"InFIT brought out my confidence to ring up, look for jobs and keep going until I got one."
"The Cold calling session Refreshed me in making me realise anything is possible"
"I'm calmer and more Confident and I know how to use my knowledge more quickly."
"InFIT was confidence booster, threw you into a group with different sorts of people - it was good for social skills"

Invite, Intraining, NCG, Jobcentre Plus Work Programme, Leicester
This week saw my first interview with my advisor at intraining for the new Work Programme.
I took the train to Leicester and arrived a little bit early, its important never to be late.
I met my advisor Richard nice chap also a immigrant from down south.
We had a chat about some of the issues around me finding employment. The time of the session was restricted due to a heavy case load and it appears a reduced number of staff. I would say there was less than half the desks since my last experience of Intraining. Richard is also a trained first aider and referred to large multi story car park, visible from the office window, during his first week he assisted a man who had jumped from the top and landed in the Intraining car park. Fortunately nothing like that happened whilst I was visiting.
The toilet has one of those horrible blue lights meant to make it difficult for drug user to shoot up.
My second appointment was made, I was handed a pack containing three leaflets. Then it was off to see Martin the receptionist who refunded the £13 travel cost.
Here is the content of the three leaflets that explains the programme. The first one explains the steps of the programme. Stereotypical photographs included 'Men are mechanics and Woman cleaners.
We're here to Help.
All you need to know about the Work Programme, delivered by Intraining.
