About us
We can help local people find a job or training opportunity to progress their careers.
Our Employment and Training Unit (ETU) provides its services to all ages, whether leaving school, returning to work or changing career; we are here to help.

You may need a more tailored training and support service due to your current circumstances and we can ensure you get all the specialist support and advice needed to move into the right job at the right time.
We offer a range of opportunities in different sectors and our team will work with you to find what's best for you.
For example, we offer opportunities in:
- Accounting
- Automotive
- Business and Administration

We are keen to talk to you about your plans for training or work. To be eligible for ETU support, applicants must be:
- Aged between 16 and 67 years
- Living in the Falkirk Council area

*this may be due to a zero/low hours contract, or because you have the skills and qualifications to do more than your current job needs
