Centres are located across the city providing support to people who find it difficult to access training and employment. Gipton Access Point offers a range of services including information, advice and guidance (IAG), jobsearch support and Jobshop facilities for people in East Leeds.
Jobshops in Central Leeds, Chapeltown, Harehills and Beeston offer advice on jobs and training opportunities, as well as providing help with preparing or updating a curriculum vitae (CV), support with completing application forms, information, advice and guidance (IAG) and internet access for employment and jobsearch. Jobshop sessions are also running at venues across the city.
The Construction Skills Learning Centre near the city centre, provides training in the construction trades. It offers on-site training with work experience on projects across the city. This includes the BTEC Certificate and Diploma in Construction which offers young people in school the opportunity to work along side their core curriculum subject to study towards vocational qualifications and gain work experience. The Foundation Construction Award offers training in Brickwork, Joinery and Plastering for young people aged 16-18.

Learning takes place in over two hundred different locations throughout the city offering sessions in everything from basic music, to arts and crafts, confidence building to digital photography.
