About this Event
Bringing your experience into the UK job market
You might have years of experience, qualifications or skills, but still find UK recruitment unfamiliar. Or perhaps you have taken a break from work and are unsure where to begin again.
This practical, five-hour Steps Towards Work masterclass is an opportunity to understand how UK employers recruit, look again at what you can offer, and explore realistic ways forward. The session includes discussion, exercises and time to reflect; it is not just a presentation about writing a CV.
What we will explore
- How UK recruitment and workplace expectations may differ from your previous experience.
- What employers look for and how to present your skills and experience confidently.
- Where and how to find suitable opportunities, including job-search channels and networking.
- Everyday workplace communication, including self-introductions, small talk and professional behaviour.
- Practical exercises, questions and ideas for your next steps.
Who might benefit?
Anyone eligible for the programme who is looking for work, returning to work, or trying to make better use of their existing experience and qualifications in the UK. You do not need to have decided on a particular job or career direction before attending.
