GrowingPeople Information

GrowingPeople is about helping people to realise their potential, particularly in the area of career development to enhance or create a lifestyle that is more fulfilling. This could be about greater work-life balance, a more enjoyable and satisfying job, doing something that benefits the community and develops new skills or obtaining an increased salary. The possibilities are endless… There is an increasing number of people over the age of 40 who wish to seek new opportunities and challenges and to explore different career options. Apart from creating a lifestyle they feel will enrich their health and wellbeing they are looking to set up businesses, increase their financial security, adopt flexible working patterns, or to enhance their personal development. However, making that first step towards change can be daunting – and some individuals are unsure about what to do or how to go about it. GrowingPeople can provide advice and support around some of the practical elements of career development and change such as: • Careers coaching and advice; • Updating qualifications and learning new skills; • Job searching; • CV writing and application forms; • Interview skills and techniques - including voice and interview coaching and how to answer competency-based interview questions. But obtaining practical support and advice is usually only part of the equation – embarking on a career change requires self-belief, confidence, initiative, and determination.
