Job Mentor Training

Next training will run on Saturday 11th November from 9.30 am-3.30 pm. The interactive training sessions are one day long and take place in our training room at level 5, 186 Willis St. They are compulsory to attend for people wanting to become job mentors. Training for volunteer job mentors normally run a couple of times a year.

Job Seeker Meeting Group

Each week we host an online meeting group for job seekers to connect and receive extra help with their job search. “After every event, I feel not only that I have more ideas about how I could improve my job seeking, but also that I get some extra energy and motivation to continue facing the search!” (Mario, an engineer from Spain)
