Career Transition Workshops
What can a CTW do for me?
On the CTW you will meet a CTP Trainer who will show you how to market yourself to potential employers, which involves a lot more than just sending out copies of your CV. Our Trainers will also help you to develop the job search skills that are needed for a successful career transition. Following the workshop, you will also have the opportunity to discuss your own individual aspirations with a Consultant who will assist you to develop a Personal Resettlement Plan, and provide essential support throughout your resettlement process.
When should I do a CTW?
This does depend on individual circumstances, but the vast majority of our clients wish that they had done the CTW earlier. The networking side of job search takes a long time - but can be the most effective route into work, so aim to come on the CTW with at least a year still to serve.
What will I get from a CTW?
In simple terms, it will enable you to identify your skills, it will help to prepare a good CV, it will teach you about job searching skills and finally how to win at interviews.
If I already have a job to go to, is there any point in attending a CTW?
Definitely! The purpose of the CTW is not simply to help you find a job but to understand the job-market so thoroughly that you can navigate your way through it for subsequent jobs. The job market can change rapidly so you may wish to get another job at some point. Everything you learn on a CTW will be of use in the future.
Will the CTW help me to choose a career?
Indirectly yes. By analysing your skills, interests and abilities you will be in a far better position to work with your Consultant to determine a career path which is based on positive choice rather than taking anything for the sake of an income.
