This course suits anyone who has been out of work for an extended period of time, for example raising children or a health issue. The course is centred around addressing issues that may cause students to doubt their abilities in the workplace. We will build confidence, look at practical methods to address problems and catch up with what has changed in the world of work. Upon completion of this course students should be ready to start job searching, but there is the option to progress into a CV and Interview skills workshop if desired.
