Work Avenue is set to launch an employment programme designed specifically to empower women to get back into work.
EMPOWER HER has been created to help all those women looking to re-enter the workforce after a period of absence – whether that’s been to raise a family, care for a loved one or any other reason.
Starting on Thursday 12 September and running for one morning each week, for a period of five weeks, the programme will help equip those taking part with all the tools, resources and confidence needed for a successful return to work.
Work Avenue is the community’s leading employment and business support organisation, touching the lives of 3,000 people each year.
Work Avenue CEO Debbie Lebrett said: “Both through our work, and in our own lives, our team meet many successful and driven women in the community who are daunted at the thought of returning to work after a long break.
“This supportive programme tackles all those things that may be stopping them – whether it’s a lack of confidence, out-of-date CV, worries over skills or just feeling overwhelmed at the thought of juggling work with family and other commitments.
“Those taking part will get to work together with like-minded women, supporting and encouraging each other to reach their individual goals, all with the ongoing guidance of our experienced employment advisers.”
