“The hub is a fantastic resource in the area, offering a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

"As part of the collaborative effort between Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council's Learning and Skills Service and their Employment and Training Hub, it's always a pleasure to be working with the ever-professional staff at the Hub and, in the case of "Work Ready Wednesday", with the National Careers Service, on such a ground-breaking project. Being part of this trio of services is incredibly rewarding, with the ultimate goal of giving clients a comprehensive range of services tailored to their needs. Our goal is to make sure every visitor leaves with a polished CV, printed and digital. Together, the team offers valuable job application help and personalized guidance to boost applicants' chances of success. Seeing first-hand the positive impact we can make on people's lives is what drives us to offer expert advice and guidance, helping clients identify opportunities that match their skills and ambitions. Additionally, we signpost people to funded training courses, including those run by SBC's Learning & Skills department. Together, we've empowered people with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed. For the last two years, I've watched the Employment and Training Hub move from temporary locations to its current location in Wellington Square. Stockton Borough Council have created a purpose-built professional training venue designed around people and their training and growth needs. I love that individuals can come in and start to discover their true potential on a journey of personal and professional development. Overall, the Hub is a great place to work because of the knowledgeable staff who create an environment that inspires learning, collaboration and success (the coffee is awesome too)." - Martin Ker, Learner Advisor

“The Stockton-on-Tees Employment and Training Hub is a shining example on how to engage and upskill the wider community. They have thought of everything and have the love and passion to make it work. Our partnership has been seamless, fitting in with Fallon and her Team to offer employment opportunities in Stockton and beyond.” - Glen Hughes, Design and Marketing Manager Orangebox

The Employment Hub are a fantastic addition to Wellington Square. Fallon, Sophie and Michael have embraced our culture and are an integral part of our community. In the 12 months they have been open, they have hit the ground running in the local community getting people back to and into employment.

We have worked with the Employment Hub on many initiatives, from talking to local schools and young adults about their future careers to employing somebody from their course and we look forward to working together again soon.

"The workspace in the hub is second-to-none and a great alternative to a classroom, the high-end technology installed makes it easier for clients and customers to learn new skills - the atmosphere sets it apart from other recruiting centres in the local area." - Matt Boxall, Centre Manager at Wellington Square
