Free training programme offers lifeline for Covid job losses

Leading property training business, Your Freedom Empire, is rolling out a free initiative designed to help those who have lost their job during the Coronavirus pandemic to find work once more. The Midlands-based company has launched its ‘YFE COVID-19 Support Package’, which aims to deliver high-level mentoring to people who have been made redundant following furlough, experienced job cuts or had to leave work to care for someone who has been ill.

The training will be delivered by Your Freedom Empire founders Hayley and Paul Andrews – who between them boast over two decades’ experience in investing in the UK property market – to encourage participants to consider a career as a property sourcing agent. Training sessions will include guidance on how to manage, control and grow a successful business with ongoing support from the industry experts.

The launch of the pioneering programme is needed now more than ever, as Office for National Statistics figures reveal the UK’s unemployment rate rose to 4.9% from August to October 2020 – an increase of 0.7% over the previous three months, and only set to rise as the pandemic continues.

Hayley, recently named one of f:Entrepreneur’s top 100 female business leaders, believes free access to the course will be a lifeline for those who are unsure of what their future holds or need inspiration to change direction.

She comments:

“The pandemic has been devastating for so many industries and countless people, through no fault of their own, have found themselves without a job and a facing a bleak future with no secure employment. Paul and I have been mentoring and training since 2006, sharing our passion for property and supporting hundreds of clients all over the world, empowering them to re-envisage their own potential.

“However, we are very aware that for someone who has lost their job the idea of spending money on training schemes is not an option. With this in mind we have devised our free YFE COVID-19 Support Package to offer them our expertise, in-depth courses, training and mentoring with the view to up-skill as qualified property sourcing agents.

“This will then allow them to start replacing their lost income, in a role that offers flexibility and freedom, while also diversifying access routes to the property industry at such a crucial time. We feel privileged to be in a position where we are able to give something back and to help those who are struggling by showing them that they can have a bright and successful future.”
