Introduction
Working with Job Centre Plus (JCP) across the Solent region, Fareham College has established bespoke Sector-Based Work Academies (SWAPs) to help individuals who are seeking job opportunities by offering them the relevant skills, knowledge and experience to obtain employment.
The short programme, generally over four weeks, is designed to prepare those receiving unemployment benefits to apply for jobs in specific industries.
The Sector-Based Work Academy Programme (SWAP) works with relevant employers and includes a guaranteed interview with an employer linked to current vacancies at the end of the programme.
Who is eligible?
Participants will be 19+ and in receipt of unemployment benefit to be eligible to access this opportunity free of charge.
How do individuals apply?

What will individuals learn?
Programmes generally include training in specific skills. Current programmes available include Construction and Digital Skills for Business and the College is expanding its offer further this year.
As part of the programme, participants will receive employability coaching and Maths and English if they have not previously achieved these qualifications.
