So What’s JobQuest All About?
We get it—job hunting can be tough, especially when you feel like the process wasn’t designed with you in mind. That’s where JobQuest comes in. Over 10 interactive group sessions, we’ll help you build the confidence and skills you need to land a job that suits you. From understanding your unique strengths to mastering online applications (and discovering some alternatives), we’ve got you covered.

We’re not just about talking, though. You’ll also have the chance to practice what you learn with the support of a community that gets it. Plus, we’re throwing in two one-to-one coaching sessions and an optional face-to-face workshop in Nottingham for those who want to connect in person.

Here’s What You’ll Get:

• Confidence to tackle the job market head-on
• Clarity about your strengths and how to use them
• Skills for navigating online job applications
• Strategies for exploring non-traditional job-seeking methods
• Connections with peers who understand your journey
