GET WORK READY

6 places. 6 sessions. Your next move starts here.

FREE online programme | 18–24-year-olds

Got an idea of where you want to go?
Not sure how to get there?
Ready to do something about it?
Get Work Ready is a free six-session online pilot designed to help you explore your aspirations, recognise your strengths, build practical employability skills and take ownership of your next steps.

We're looking for six motivated young people who are ready to get involved, try new things and take responsibility for their own progress.
What is Get Work Ready?
Finding your direction isn't always easy.

You may have an idea of what you would like to do, but not know how to get there. You may have skills and qualities that you haven't recognised yet. Or you may simply lack the confidence, experience or opportunities to turn your ideas into action.

Get Work Ready gives you the space, support and practical tools to start doing something about it.

Across six online sessions, we'll explore:
  • Your aspirations, interests, skills and qualities
  • Setting meaningful and achievable goals
  • Creating and improving your CV
  • Writing effective cover letters and applications
  • Understanding how AI is changing recruitment
  • Proactive job searching and finding opportunities
  • Preparing for interviews and presenting yourself effectively
  • Turning your goals into practical next steps
This isn't just about attending six sessions.

You'll have tasks to complete between sessions and opportunities to put what you've learned into practice. The aim is for you to become more confident in making decisions, taking action and responding to opportunities.

You bring the motivation. We'll help you build the skills.
Who is it for?

Get Work Ready is for 18–24-year-olds who are currently looking for employment, opportunities or a clearer direction for their future.

You don't need to have everything figured out.

You don't need a perfect CV.

You don't need previous work experience.

What you do need is a willingness to get involved and take responsibility for your own progress.

This pilot is particularly suited to young people who can say:

“I'm ready to do something about it.”

  • Completing tasks between sessions
  • Trying out new approaches
