Suggestions? Support/guidance for career change/getting back to work after a long absence...
I'm looking for some suggestions to pass along regarding resources for people who would like to return to work after a long absence. Ideally, this would involve career counselling and related guidance (for example, information on retraining or further education, dealing with gaps in a CV, etc). There may be some mental health connection (for when the absence is due to mental health problems/work-related stress) but this isn't strictly necessary. Cost is a consideration, but at this 'brainstorming' stage, all suggestions are welcome.The only projects I'm aware of are meant for people who may never have worked before and require a great deal of support around very basic work skills. There seems to be little available for more high-functioning individuals with qualifications, job skills and a career history, but still in need of a gentle and supported return to the world of work. I used to work in a related field but am no longer up-to-date on current availability and am finding it difficult to advise. Any ideas? Feel free to email directly if that suits. Cheers!
