Efling’s autumn education programme is off to a strong start, with registrations exceeding expectations. Members have already had the opportunity to learn about their rights as tenants and employees. Tonight, 28 October, the focus turns to job searching and career development. The programme aims to help members understand their rights and make the most of the opportunities available to them.
