Merkinch Enterprise Information

Merkinch Enterprise provides free training in a wide range of IT applications in a format to suit the client that can lead to the gaining of a recognised qualification. However, we also provide a wide range of non accredited training as we recognise that learning is not just about qualifications but gaining enough experience and confidence in IT to improve your skills and abilities. The training will be either one to one or group sessions and will be adapted to suit your requirements and interests to make the experience more relevant and suitable to you. In addition, we are able to offer free access to our PC suite if you wish to continue your learning and development outwith the training schedule. Applicants must be unemployed (but not necessarily claiming benefits) or working 16 hours a week or less. There is no upper age restriction. In addition, we can provide finance towards the cost of registered childcare if necessary. We also offer a variety of volunteering and work placements in our office on Grant Street. Hours and days are flexible to suit your needs. Work placements are also available in our Fliperz Nursery and, where appropriate, we will fund the cost of PVG disclosures for those wishing to pursue a career in child care and you will be fully supported by a qualified member of staff. For further details, please call into our office at 14 Grant Street, call 01463 240085 or email info@merkinch.org.uk.
