A HOUSING provider has transformed one of its premises on Stanley Front Street into a skills hub to support local residents back into work. The Foundations Skills Hub opened its doors on Stanley Front Street and is available to Karbon Homes and non-Karbon customers living in Stanley and the surrounding areas of north Durham. Residents can learn and build their confidence and skills by accessing a host of services all under one roof from digital skills coaching and literacy and numeracy tuition, to wellbeing support and employment advice. The service is free to access and is being delivered by Karbon’s Foundations for Life team and supported by many of Karbon’s partners who will deliver training and advice from the hub, by using some of the on-site facilities.
