Shape Your Future - Skills & Work Pathway: Job Club
Looking for work but not sure where to start - or where to look next?
Our Jobs Club is a friendly, practical workshop designed to support you with live job searching in a supportive, informal setting. With guidance from our facilitators, you will explore job opportunities, learn how to search effectively online, and think about how your skills and experience match different types of work.
In a small group, you will have access to computers and support to look for real vacancies, explore popular job search websites, and consider what kinds of roles may suit you. We can help you reflect on your skills, suggest job ideas you may not have considered, and support you to feel more confident navigating online job search tools.
The session is relaxed and learner-led. You can work independently or choose to share ideas, questions and experiences with others if you wish.
