Print New Directions - Re-starting My Career
B01649
Have circumstances left you unemployed and you feel a need to choose a new direction/industry? Would you like to explore other careers you could engage with, including the green sector? Are you planning to go back to paid work after some time? Are you wondering if volunteering might be the next step for you? Are you looking for a new challenge in your career?
