JOBSEEKERS from ethnic minorities are being urged to take part in a course to help them find employment.

Stockton Adult Education Service has launched the course, which teaches people how to write CVs, personal statements, improve job-search skills and interview techniques, as well as improve their command of the English language.

Since July last year, 47 jobseekers from ethnic minorities have gained work or places on a further education programme following the course.

Candidates must be unemployed or unwaged and be eligible to work in the UK.

To take part, call (01642) 612400.
