Employment Guidance Support

Employment and Careers guidance is an important element of our programmes. Our Guidance Workers work with women on an individual and group work basis before, during and after the initial course.

The Guidance Workers meet all women before they join our programme to discuss their future plans and make sure that our programme meets their needs.

Guidance sessions on the courses can cover a variety of topics including:

Choosing a career

Interview skills

Completing application forms and CV’s for job vacancies

Advice on training courses available

Qualifications/training required for different careers

Information on local employers and job opportunities

Information on courses running in the community

Advice on college/university courses

Funding sources for further study

We also use the 'Skills and Interests Assement' tool, which can help women come up with careers ideas if they are unsure about what they want to do.

For some instant online Guidance support why not try the Careers Scotland link or some of the links on the useful links page.
