CV Writing
A CV is important as its often the first chance you get to introduce yourself to a potential employer and show them why you’re a great candidate. Employers and recruiters can have tens or even hundreds of CVs to sort through for each vacancy, so it’s important to create a CV that stands out from the crowd.
We will work with you to talk about your experiences and look at how best to show case your skills and knowledge. This will be a broad conversation often pulling out positives you were not aware of!
Together we will then create a CV that will land you an interview and that job you want.
“Thank you so much for sending me the copy of my CV. It’s a lot better than what I had originally.” – SD

What is an apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships combine practical training in a job with study.
As an apprentice you’ll earn a wage and receive employee benefits such as holiday pay.
You’ll work alongside an experienced team supporting you to gain job-specific skills with at least 20% of your working hours dedicated to training and studying.
Apprenticeships take 1 to 5 years to complete depending on their level.
Opportunities & Training
Our over 45’s workshop courses have been incredibly successful and proven popular in the local community supporting maturer individuals from different walks of life with their career journey. We spend time working on confidence building through open discussion while exploring strengths and skillsets with a specific focus on transferrable skills.
The workshop also provides advice and guidance on CVs, Cover Letters, Effective Job searching and Interview Skills to ensure that participants are confident and prepared in the job-hunting process.
We also discuss further opportunities for education, development and upskilling that can support participants further in their career pathways.
