Learning & employment
There are many local services offering learning, training and employment opportunities in SW1 and across the City. We have listed the key organisations offering services and support locally. If your local service isn’t listed please contact us.
Local courses
There are a number of different courses and training opportunities locally, both in adult education centres and community centres, and we have listed the key contacts in this section. If you would like to add your local service to this site please contact us.
Help to find work
Plenty of support is available to look for vacancies, apply for jobs and to prepare for interviews. It makes sense to get free advice and support from the ‘experts’ to make the process easier for you! We have listed the key contacts in this section. If you would like to add your local service to this site please contact us.
Volunteering opportunities
There is a range of volunteering opportunities locally, with something to suit everyone. Volunteering can be a good way of improving your skills and confidence, meeting new people and giving something back to the community!
Starting your own business
If you are considering starting your own business, there is plenty of advice and support to help you decide if this is the right choice for you. Some organisations will also be able to support you to set up a business if you decide that this is the option for you.
Expert services
Some expert services are available to support people with specific needs into training and employment. For example, extra help is available for people with disabilities, young people and people without permanent accommodation. The ‘expert services’ can often support individuals all the way from thinking about work, into getting and keeping a job.
Schools
We have listed all of the primary and secondary schools in SW1 in this section. For more information about schools, visit Westminster City Council’s website which gives information about school performance tables, Ofsted School reports, and links to other websites offering information and advice to parents.
