Love them or hate them these places are packed with vacancies. Job Centres provide vacancies boards for all types of work. They change quite frequently and it's worth visiting them regularly. The staff can arrange for interviews for suitable vacancies and offer support and advice. Not forgetting the New Deal of course!
Careers Centres deal with people up to 21 years age, although some now offer advice to adults. What they do have are vacancies for younger people that job centres do not normally advertise. Most careers centres will also put you on a register as looking for work, and will let you know if suitable vacancies come up. They also submit young people to training vacancies, such as National Traineeships and Modern Apprenticeships, many of these vacancies may not be notified in the press.
You must go to a Careers Centre if you are between 16-18 and hoping to claim any type of benefit. They are normally listed in the Yellow Pages or other local directories.
