Transition back to work with confidence

We understand that returning to work after a long time can be a daunting experience. But there’s never been a better time for women to get back into the workforce! We help women from diverse backgrounds to gain confidence and make the most of employment opportunities. 

Are you thinking about returning to work after a long break?  

Our program is designed exclusively for you. We understand the unique challenges that women from diverse backgrounds face, such as childcare responsibilities and language barriers, and we’re here to support you on your employment journey. We provide training, mentorship and pathways to employment opportunities so you can return to work with confidence.  

Why should you get back to work? 

Jobs can be flexible

Returning to work doesn’t need to mean sacrificing your other commitments. We provide job placement support tailored to women and mothers, connecting you with employers who value work-life balance and flexibility.

You are needed

Your skills and passions are in demand in workplaces today. Employers are actively seeking women, like you, to contribute your unique talents and perspectives to their teams. 

Financial gain

Whether part-time or full-time, working allows you to bolster your household income and achieve greater financial stability. Think about all the ways that some extra money could help you – bills, spending money, and less money-related stress for your household.
