Recommendations for Mum & Career Workshops
“Attending the workshop on Career Change and Re-training has given me the drive to start researching a business start-up, as I had previously been to worried/ unsure about doing this. Small steps, but at least I’m doing something about it rather than always talking about wanting to make a change.”
“A very well-targeted event with great and approachable speakers. I gained a lot of confidence, focus and motivation.”
“It was a fantastic event! I realised I am not the only person to feel the way I do.”
“Listening to other people made me start to clarify my own position and feelings about my position as a mum returning to work.”
“I really liked the variety of speakers, it helped me think about my own situation in new ways.”
“All speakers were engaging and inspiring. I gained lots of practical information too.”
