Gateway to Work is a two week intensive training programme for those aged 18-24 who have been unemployed in excess of 6 months. The aim of the programme is to address key barriers to employment early and thus speed up the 'job ready' status.

Claverhouse has a demanding 2 week timetable mapped out for clients which incorporates job search with life skills training, and includes preparation of CV, completion of application forms, letter writing, interview techniques, overcoming barriers to employment and teambuilding exercises.
