How We Support Employment Journeys

At SDM Training Services, we specialise in supporting people who face barriers to employment. Whether you are returning to work after a health condition, rebuilding confidence after time away, or exploring new opportunities later in life, our tailored support helps you take meaningful steps forward.

Understanding Your Starting Point
We begin by getting to know your personal situation, challenges, and goals. Our friendly, no-pressure approach helps you:

• Identify hidden strengths and transferable skills.
• Understand any barriers to work, including health conditions or confidence setbacks.
• Build a plan that works at your pace and comfort level.

Practical Skills & Employability Tools
We offer a range of practical resources and one-to-one guidance to help you move forward:

• CV writing support tailored to your experience and skills.
• Interview preparation and practice, including mock interviews.
• Job search strategies and digital skills for online applications.
• Guidance on exploring volunteering, apprenticeships, or self-employment.

Explore our Free Employability Toolbox for downloadable guides, planners, and worksheets to use at your own pace.

Building Confidence & Motivation
We understand that getting job-ready isn't just about skills. Our coaching and mentoring help you:

• Rebuild confidence after a period away from work.
• Manage anxiety around interviews or new environments.
• Set realistic goals and maintain motivation.

Our Bee Work Ready programme offers additional structured support for individuals with health conditions.

Workshops, Courses & Talks
In addition to one-to-one support, we also deliver:

• Engaging presentations and workshops on a variety of employability topics.
• Bespoke course design tailored to specific audiences or organisational needs.
• Professional talks on employment and vocational rehabilitation delivered by our director, Stuart Miller, for conferences, events, and staff development sessions.

These services help organisations, professionals, and community groups deepen their understanding of employability challenges and solutions.

Supporting Professionals & Providers
We work with vocational rehabilitation providers, case managers, and employment support services to help clients overcome barriers and achieve their employment goals.
If you're a professional supporting someone into work, we can provide tailored interventions to complement your service.
