It’s rare these days for people to stay in the same job or career for their entire working lives. Sometimes people make a conscious choice to make a change in direction; other times change is forced upon people by events out of their control, such as redundancy or ill health.

Whatever your reasons, this programme has been written to help work through the process of exploring career change, making decisions you are happy with and putting your plans into action.

It isn’t specific for any industry or stage of life: whatever age you are, whatever industry you are in, there should be something here to help you. The programme does not contain industry-specific information - if it did it would go out of date in no time. What it does include is a process of thinking about and acting upon information gathered towards creating a new career goal.

That new career goal might be anything – and that includes starting a business, going freelance or becoming self-employed. Working for yourself is treated as seriously as an option as working for somebody else.
