Being declared redundant leads to a strange mixture of emotions. We question our self-worth and our confidence is dented. But redundancy can also be a Springboard to new opportunities, perhaps to doing something we have not had the chance to do before.

Our Springboard Programme is ideal for people who have been declared redundant. See our Springboard page.

We recommend four three hour sessions with a career counsellor to improve your chance of future success.

They are flexible to your needs but can cover:

Self awareness-

What is it that you have to offer potential employers?

What can you bring from your past experiences?

What are your skills, knowledge and values and which employers do they most relate to?

Opportunity awareness- where are the relevant jobs. How can they be accessed?
