SKylight – Stockport Homes Employment Support Team – delivers training to help individuals to increase their skills and knowledge, improve community engagement and enhance well-being.

We facilitate training in a variety of areas: employment, health & well-being and community. We also deliver employment training opportunities in growing sectors such as the care and the construction industry. We also offer computer skills training and other courses, which assist when gaining work.


Skills for Life+ Courses

Our Skills for Life + training courses are hugely popular and last year we had approx. 1,600 attendees.

Our courses range from health and wellbeing, housing and practical skills such as gardening and cooking.

Over the past few months, we’ve also used the course content to produce an extensive array of short online learning videos from health and well-being to different aspects of employment and life-skills. All videos can be found from our YouTube channel:

Training for Young People

We have a wide variety of apprenticeships, some within Stockport Homes and a number offered by our partners such as B4Box specialising in construction trainees, who help deliver construction projects on Stockport Homes’ properties.
