The aim of the sessions is to build confidence and skills to help people be work ready. Some of the activities taking place include basic IT skills, job search, mock interviews and CV building.
Room Hire
The Centre for the Aston Family rooms can be hired out for events and functions. As a community building we do not generate profit from the charges made and all income is used to cover running costs of the Centre. As a result our prices are extremely competitive. We can accommodate a range of activities for varying volumes from offices to conduct interviews to larger meeting spaces for workshops and conferences.
Cyber Suite
The Centre has a suite of pcs that are available to use free of charge as well as printing facilities available for a small donation. All individuals accessing the Cyber Suite are asked to become members and must present their photo ID card in order to access the computers. We do this to ensure the safety and security of all people using the Centre.
