guidance in job search, and all materials required by the jobseeker, forms a central part of the service to all clients. Additionally, all training programmes are designed so as to place the maximum emphasis
on the client gaining suitable and sustainable employment. Currently, Claverhouse offers the following services:

The training is of the highest quality and delivered by dedicated and well qualified staff. All certificated courses are validated to nationally recognised standards by the following awarding
bodies:

Courses are funded by a variety of agencies including the European Social Fund (ESF), Scottish Enterprise Tayside, the local authority under the Social Inclusion Programme (SIP) and
