TRAINING and business agencies are hosting an open day for learners, employers and job seekers.

Various organisations operating in Ferryhill, Chilton and West Cornforth, all under the umbrella of the Sedgefield Learning Borough Initiative, will give details of their services and advice.

The aim is to help people change career, gain new skills and qualifications and find out how to get back into work.

The event will be held at Ferryhill and Dean Bank Literary Institute on Friday, April 1, from 10am to 3pm.

For details, contact Zoe Hutchinson on (01740) 657493.
