What Is a Social Recruitment and Training Partner?

A Social Recruitment and Training Partner  is an organisation that helps businesses hire jobseekers who may face barriers to employment and provides the training, support, and follow-up needed to help those individuals succeed in work.

At Turas Nua, we match the right person to the right role and  making sure they’re job-ready, confident, and capable from day one.

We provide:

• Access to a diverse pool of motivated candidates
• Tailored pre-employment training to bridge skills gaps
• In-employment support for both candidates and employers
• Upskilling opportunities through our award-winning FLEX learning platform

This is recruitment with social impact, and training with purpose.
