Futures Advice

What a special visit this week! 🌟

We were delighted to welcome Andy Abrahams, the Mayor of Mansfield, to Futures - where he had the chance to meet some of the incredible people we've supported into jobs through some of our programmes.

From Alfie, now in a catering role at King's Mill Hospital, to Robert, who's found his feet with a lighting firm - and the wonderful Jayne, who completed our teaching assistant skills course and is now making a real difference at Fountaindale School. Their stories say it all 💙

It was great to hear the Mayor speak positively about our impact. We really couldn't be prouder of our customers.

We're also so pleased how much our Transform Your Futures Programme and Skill to Success programmes, both of which were funded by Mansfield District Council via UK Shared Prosperity Fund, have made a difference.

How did your bank holiday go?

Long weekends have a way of giving us space to think - and, if some of that thinking turned to your working life, you’re in the right place.

Whether you’ve been considering a return to work, a change in career, or just taking that initial step towards your first job, that feeling is worth following.

At Futures, we offer free, confidential careers guidance for people at every stage of their journey. No pressure, no judgement - just the right support whenever you’re ready.

Are you thinking about find a new job or switching careers?

Then here is one session you don't want to miss - giving you the chance to explore exciting job opportunities in health and social care 💙

The National Careers Service is running a free, 90-minute online workshop on Tuesday, May 5 (11am–12.30pm) - a great way to start the week after the bank holiday with a focus on your future.

You'll get expert guidance on CV writing, look into job searching and find out about the roles and opportunities available in the sector - plus explore how you could be supported into a training course with an employer attached.

It is free to join and you can attend online via Microsoft Teams.

It was great to see our Adult Social Care learners spend the day with the team at Q Care Assist last week - and what a day it was 🌟

They got a real insight into life as a care assistant or support worker, hearing directly from Q Care staff and from some of the people they support.

The best part? Every learner on this course is guaranteed an interview with Q Care - so this wasn't just a visit. It was a first step towards their next career 💛

Thank you to Q Care Assist and the Department for Work and Pensions - DWP for providing this amazing opportunity to our learners!
