First Bus has teamed up with Hunslet Rugby Foundation (HRF) to support the parents of children participating in junior rugby with an outreach programme to help end unemployment or get back into work after a break from raising a family.
The bus operator is providing workshops at HRF’s premises in the Belle Isle Welcome Centre to develop employability skills and build confidence, including interview technique and CV writing. The potential to offer work experience placements and apprenticeships at First Bus depots is also planned.
