For training try here, as for experience, what IT skills do you have? and what area of IT are you interested in?, I may be able to make some recommendations of companies in Leeds.

the IT skills that i have are

IT Skills: Microsoft Word, Publisher, PowerPoint, Excel, Access, Email, Internet and keyboard skills. Can also locate many hardware points on a computer and find and repair moderately difficult problems within a computer (Hardware Related Tasks).

I was hoping you would have said you were interested in Web design, multimedia design, software dev etc If you had I would be confident of finding you some work experience.

Those skills are pretty generic, If I was you I would work out which areas really interest you and seek further training in that area.

Pm me and I will ask around for you.

If you're under 25 and have been unemployed for 6 months, you'll be about to go on New Deal. You need to discuss with your advisor what is offered on the scheme in your area in the way of training or work experience or else you may find that anything you organise may clash with the programme.
