A new app to support jobseekers in Cardiff launched

A new app to support jobseekers and those looking to change careers in Cardiff to access real-time information and advice about the Council’s employability services is now available to download.

The Into Work Cardiff mobile app provides information on the wide range of employment support services delivered by the Council’s Into Work Advice Services including job clubs, one to one mentoring projects, Adult Learning courses, training, employment event, help accessing funding and more, all at the user’s fingertips on their smartphone or tablet.

Developed for Into Work Advice Services by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), the app is built on TCS’ DigiGOV™ framework and is available to download for free on the Apple Store and at Google Play and provides regular updates to job seekers about new training courses, events and information to help them get into a role they’re interested in.

By downloading the app, users are also able to register for Into Work support, making it quicker and easier for people to get help they need to get the job they want.

Cabinet Member for Finance, Modernisation & Performance, Cllr Chris Weaver, said: “Our Into Work services have a great track record of supporting people into employment in a wide range of different sectors, helping to equip them with what they need to get back into work, supporting others to upskill to progress in their careers and get a job they really want, or into training and education.

“With the new app, it’s going to be even easier for people to find out the latest updates to provision, whether that be information on job clubs, new courses they may be interested in, or projects that can get them on the path to where they want to be.

“Our expert advisors will still be available to help clients with compiling CVs, applying for jobs,  preparing for interviews, accessing funding available to them to work towards certain qualifications and so on, and the app will complement that work to ensure we’re assisting as many people as we can with the right support to get the right role for them.”

Download the new Into Work Cardiff app for free by visiting the Apple Store or Google Play.
