May Half Term
OPEN TODAY FROM 9.00AM TILL 5.30PM
We’re once again proud to be working with Derbyshire Adult Community Education Services (DACES), to develop a work experience programme, this time with the support of our independent retailers.
The programme, put together by Shaun Brown (Centre Manager of Vicar Lane), will see five learners from Shirebrook and Clay Cross working in independent shops, as well as the Centre Management office, right here at Vicar Lane.
The aim of the programme is to bridge the gap between education and the real world of work, with the learners receiving meaningful interactions with employers.
Qoozies, Shop Indie, Nana B Baby & Childrenswear and Gorilla Garms are all getting involved in the programme.
Vicar Lane’s partnership with DACES began in 2019, and continues to grow, with Shaun Brown also planned to take part in the learners’ upcoming mock interviews, to help them overcome the nerves and build confidence.
