The Dorset V Card
The Dorset V Card is a new concept, seeking to provide a long term, flexible 'vehicle' for the assessment, development and recognition of life and work skills for volunteers and workless people alike. The programme will be tailored to fit individuals and their personal circumstances, ability and future direction via a personal assessment, a personal development programme and creation of an ongoing CV of skills, experience and achievement. The Programme will be delivered via 3 key initiatives;-
