Unlock your potential at our new skills booster event
Are you looking to take the next step in your career? Do you fancy a change in direction or just want to explore learning something new?
We are hosting a FREE skills booster event on Tuesday 10 June, 4 - 8pm in the Market Square.
Aimed at adults of all ages, the new event seeks to raise awareness of the wide range of skills and training opportunities available locally to support career growth, personal development, and lifelong learning.
The event will bring together around 40 exhibitors including, local education and training providers, support organisations, and a selection of employers, and will feature a session on transferable skills hosted by staff from Darlington Economic Campus. Sessions on employability and CV writing will also be hosted by Tandem which has a long history of helping people access high quality employment. Attendees can also take part in practical employability activities, HGV driving simulations, online learning and more.
Support will also be available for people considering starting their own business.

Cllr Chris McEwan, cabinet member for economy said: "We are committed to ensuring Darlington is one of the best places to live, learn, work and invest in the UK. Events like this help to raise aspirations and support people to realise their potential so that they can earn more, live well and stay healthy. Ensuring local people have the right skills to capitalise on the opportunities available in the area also helps to attract further inward investment from businesses seeking to benefit from the knowledge, skills and expertise of our local workforce - supporting the continued growth of our local economy."
