Pathfinder supports people from the Corridor Manchester areas of Ardwick, Longsight, Rusholme, Hulme and Moss Side who are looking for employment and training opportunities.

Help is available through free advice and guidance if you are looking to get back into work no matter what your personal circumstances.

      

Pathfinder is working with some of the largest employers in Manchester to make employment and training opportunities a reality for the local community.

Anyone living in Hulme, Moss Side, Ardwick, Longsight and Rusholme can take advantage of the initiative regardless of their benefit and job seeker status.  The project will work with people on a one-to-one basis to either direct them to job opportunities or relevant training and education.

Pathfinder is already helping people back into work and training. Visit our latest news page for more infomation and you can contact the team by email or phone.

Here is what some of Pathfinders customers have to say:

                       

Ann Cash


Hulme resident Ann Cash was made redundant from her job as a receptionist in spring this year. She heard about the Pathfinder scheme and they are helping her to find a new job.

“The advice I am being given by the Pathfinder team is really useful. They are helping me decide what sort of jobs I should apply for and helping me fill in application forms.”

 

Shamaz Iqbal

Local resident Shamaz was out of work for five months but started a new job in customer services last week through Pathfinder’s help.

“The support I’ve had from Pathfinder has been great.  They suggested I attend a jobs event held by CIS, then they helped me with my CV.  The next day I sent my CV off for a few jobs and just a few days later I was offered a job!” 


Iram Afzal

Iram is looking for her first job and is very interested in working with children and asked Pathfinder for advice on getting the right training.

 “I have always wanted to work in child care but I knew I would need to get qualifications but I wasn’t sure how to go about it.  Pathfinder have found a course I can do and I hope to start very soon.”

                              
Ann, Shamaz and Iram are all looking forward to new careers through working with the Pathfinder Team
