Workshop for Returners
This 2-3 hour workshop has been designed to support returners to the workplace or for those who’ve been out of work for some time. Delivered online or in person, this interactive session helps delegates better understand the different types of flexible working available to them, legal rights, where to find flexible jobs and how to discuss flexible working with an employer. This session is often delivered as part of a broader ‘Returners’ or ‘Employability Programme’.
Flexible working can be the difference to someone working or not working, between having a ‘good’ job or ‘any’ job. 87% of people who are not working in Scotland but seeking to return to work say flexible working is important.
Who is this workshop aimed at:
The workshop is designed for people who want to understand more about flexible working and how to find a flexible job. In particular it is aimed at people who are looking to return to work, for example women returners – but it works for any groups of people who need flexible working for any reason such as disability, mental health, wellbeing, caring, etc. The half day workshop, delivered by one of our dedicated team members, will be tailored to meet the needs of participants and can be delivered online or face to face. Charities, employability providers, local authorities etc can commission us to deliver this workshop as part of their wider programme of support.
