A new centre offering free career advice and training support has opened in Grimsby town centre.
The Careers Café, located next to Trespass and opposite Next in Freshney Place, is a joint initiative between Target NEL and North East Lincolnshire Council’s Adult Careers Team. The project aims to “bring career support directly into the heart of the town centre, making it easier for people to drop in and get the help they need.”
Officially opened earlier this week, the facility provides a welcoming space for residents seeking training opportunities, one-to-one careers guidance, or wider employment support.
Founder and Managing Director, Joanne Lord, said: “The opening of the Careers Café marks a powerful step forward in our mission to empower people with lived experience and create meaningful pathways into employment. This partnership with the Adult Careers Team is built on shared goals to reduce barriers and priorite wellbeing alongside promoting long-term employment. The Careers Café will be a space where those values come to life, offering practical and emotional support in a welcoming environment for anyone looking to take their next step.”
