'Free Courses for Jobs' campaign expansion

The Government's 'Free Courses for Jobs' campaign has expanded to help even more adults take a free level 3 qualification (equivalent to A levels) to help them access new job opportunities or increase their wages. Courses are now available to those aged 19+, living in England, if any one of the following apply:

• They do not already have a level 3 qualification such as A levels or an Advanced Technical Diploma (and do not have a qualification at a higher level)
• Are unemployed
• Earn below the National Living Wage annually (£18525)

Visit the website here to find the right qualification for you.

National Insurance relief for businesses when hiring Veterans

Businesses hiring military veterans can now save their firms thousands of pounds in employee National Insurance contributions, thanks to a scheme launched by the government's Office of Veterans' Affairs. From 6 April 2022, employers will not have to pay National Insurance contributions for veterans in their first year of civilian employment after leaving the armed forces. Businesses will also be able to claim this relief retrospectively for any qualifying employees who joined their company in the last 12 months. Further information can be found on the Government website here

Beloved characters from the award-winning PETER RABBIT™ animated TV series arrived at a new home on Blackpool’s famous seafront.

Embark on an adventure across five fluffy-tailed themed zones. You’ll need to think like a rabbit, move like a rabbit and deploy rabbit-like senses! There’s a whole burrow-full of creativity to enjoy. Complete the challenges and earn badges. See if you have the skills to join the secret treehouse club! You’ll also meet, greet and ‘high-paw’ with Peter himself – in a bumper bunny day out!
