Support with CV creation, completing job applications as well as interview techniques. Workshops delivered in a fun, relaxed environment, where you put skills learned into practice and leave feeling ready to bag that next role with ease.
Support with well-being and mental health through the delivery of workshops centred around self care, as we recognise that a healthy mind is very important in being and feeling positive.
