London Probation Trust
works with a number of training services and colleges to equip
offenders under our supervision with the skills needed to gain
employment.
Not being able to get a job or
sustain employment is a key factor that drives offenders to crime.
Evidence suggests that offenders who gain sustained employment are
far less likely to re-offend than those without a job.
We help offenders with key skills
such as literacy and numeracy, and give them the opportunity to
work towards NVQ awards that will be recognised within their chosen
industry.
Alongside the training provided to
offenders, we also help them into employment. We work with
employers to match their vacancies with suitable offenders under
our supervision - and assist the offenders further offering advice
and guidance on things such as CV writing and interview
techniques.
All this helps offenders into
employment and break the cycle of re-offending.
