Help with jobs, skills and credit at your library

Help to apply for jobs and credit is now available through a free online service offered at your local library.

The Universal Skills database uses questionnaires comprising 25 questions per subject area for the following:

  
• Universal Jobmatch Awareness (basic computer skills needed to      complete job applications via Universal Jobmatch)
 
• Employability Skills Awareness (learning about all the essential      skills you need to do most jobs)
 
• Universal Credit Awareness (how to create an account, login and      input your details so you can make a claim).

You can access this database in all Bury Council libraries and from home with a valid library card number.

For more information, call into your local library or visit http://www.bury.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=10069
