EBC's Make it Work Programme

Welcome to the special Make it Work The Sunderland Way page of our website. 

The programme was created to help people develop new skills and be better prepared to get back into work.

Bridging the Gap Through Technology

EBC's has been one of the key partners in Make it Work The Sunderland Way programme, which has been managed by Sunderland City Council.

EBC developed an innovative and exciting range of activities called Bridging the Gap Through Technology designed to develop key employability and ICT skills and to bring people currently unemployed together with employers. 

All activities were designed to fun as well as educational.   You can see some of candidates in action by viewing our special photo album.  Click here.
