Meeting clients’ needs

Person careers counsellor: each client has their own careers counsellor who works with them throughout the period of career change.

Assessing client’s capabilities: the client’s experience and qualifications are explored in depth. Identifying client’s potential: time is taken to identify each client’s potential and to recognise relevant and realistic career options.

Upgrading skills: the acquisition of new skills is considered, particularly where additional training might substantially improve the chances of finding suitable employment.

Career profiling: an initial appointment normally covers all of the above, after which a full career profile is produced to summarise employment options.
