Use your resettlement training to acquire a defined marketable skill...preferably one that "on trend".
For example (for a lecky perhaps). Get the tick for installing domestic renewable energy sources (like rooftop solar panels or a domestic wind turbine or both) so that the householder qualifies for the "feed in" tariff.
A hard, defined skill such as that above is far easier to turn into income than a soft skill like "passed ECDL and proficient in Excel". Increasingly soft skills are of decreasing value in the workplace because so many jobs are process orientated.
