Run by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), mentoring circles are a three-week course for young people which are a mix of job search help, outdoor activities and working on the perfect presentation pitch with a local employer.

It is also an opportunity for customers to work with other job seekers and to share challenges as a group. This is designed to highlight to the attendees that they are not alone in the challenges and issues they face.

The latest lockdown had forced these onto a solely virtual format but it is hoped that they can resume on April 13.

Mentoring circles are open to people aged 18-24 who are currently unemployed.

Those interested should speak to their work coach in the first instance.
