What is Involved?

Voluntary placements

• Roles include retail, catering, administration, food bank, cleaning and more. All voluntary placements are on the Cathedral site

Practical training and learning opportunities

• Focusing only on practical, useful skills that help people search for, and secure, the right job for them. We also provide vocational courses that strengthen your CV and job applications

Guaranteed interviews when you’re ready for work

• Through extensive employer engagement Micah volunteers can access guaranteed interviews with organisations such as Liverpool Philharmonic and the University of Liverpool

One to one support when needed

• One to one support from one of our co-ordinators to help volunteers create an outstanding CV, prepare for interview or send in an amazing application
• The programme has no religious requirements and welcomes people from any background, culture or faith. We only have two requirements; you must want to get a job and you must be able to commit to the whole course.

Extra opportunities
