LET'S TALK TRAVEL
Let's Talk Travel
​​
Travel has been evidenced as an added barrier preventing learners and job seekers from accessing education and employment opportunities further afield, with up to 40% avoiding opportunities which require travel. This initiative aims to counter these issues through support and advice designed to increase travel confidence and so increase opportunities for all.
​
​ Organisations can access a range of support tailored to meet their needs including informative resources, tailored workshops and support at events.
