Workshops

Our workshops relate to working and living in a period of rapid change and uncertainty - where collaboration is key. They combine individual reflection, small group discussion, teaching on the wider issues, and opportunities for personal planning.

Suitable for:

  • People who (through choice or necessity) are looking at the changing world of work
  • People with work experience seeking new opportunities for work
  • People looking for their entry point into the job market
  • People looking for new opportunities to use/develop their skills and interests
  • Organisations making employees redundant

For individual enrollment or tailored to the needs of organisations. We offer single sessions, or a series addressing the issues in greater depth Our approach is modular. Courses can be designed for specific needs. Examples are:

  • "Stronger together - exploring the changing world of work." a practical introduction for anyone who (through choice or necessity) is looking at these issues.
