TIP: This is a database of all the opportunities across Wales. Pop Swansea or your postcode into the location, indicate 5 miles radius and click search - this will show you local opportunities. If you then click advance search (top right corner) this filters the opportunities further. If the amount of opportunities proves to much to search through, please make an appointment to see one of our guidance workers and we'll help you decide!
