What can I do next?
Our tailored approach begins with a detailed assessment of each parent’s situation. Then, we create a personalised action plan. This plan may connect you to other services. It may include accessing technology or financial resources. We focus on employability skills such as writing CVs, applying for jobs, and preparing for interviews. We also provide emotional support to build confidence. After securing employment, we offer ongoing support to ensure long-term success.
