Career Planning and Job Hunting Support Programmes

Career Consultation

We always meet you first for a Career Options & Job Search Consultation. During the consultation your Career Specialist will give you his/ her thoughts on the most suitable career options open to you now, and how you should go about securing a new opportunity. He'll/ She'll also give you some advice on improving your CV and job hunting tactics, including whether you should look at advertised jobs, deal with recruitment consultants or approach potential employers directly. Our discussions will cover whether an additional qualification or further training will make you more marketable. 

After your Career Consultation, if we think we can help you further we will send you a programme outline to consider.

If you would like more information from one of our qualified career consultants please complete our enquiry form.
