Home Page You can access YJILS, from the top right by clicking ‘YJLS login’ The top slider holds news that we think are relevant. You can also access Twitter and YouTube channel. At the bottom you will find a toolbar and under ‘Custody and Community’ you will see an extra link called ‘Relevant External Links’, this is where you will find lots of web address to agencies that we think may be useful in supporting the Sector with the work (not pictured due to resolution)

Here you will find information around general introduction to the site outlining what it holds and who should access it. You can also access YJILS from here and if you are logged in it will show you the titles of the training courses. In the purple section, you will find information about National Occupation Standards and Workforce Development. The Training Documents section is still under development, we would welcome and feedback and information about what you may find useful. Training and Development (new YJILS)
