Back to work course

Having children can certainly take its toll on your career. The mums we work with have often taken a career break, and the idea of getting back into work feels pretty daunting. Mums can begin to doubt their employability and can feel lacking in confidence – we help you get this back.

Our courses go beyond teaching you back to work and confidence skills. As a mum, you are probably more employable than you realise. We work to change your perception of your skills and to help you understand your strengths. Being a mum makes you a well-rounded, highly employable person – you just need to know how to transfer these skills into the workplace.

A JOB, CAREER OR BUSINESS VENTUREadvice and support from Successful Mums

This page is all about our mums. There are a number of different paths you can follow with us that lead to success – whatever success might mean to you. That’s why we have a number of options for you to explore, helping you to take the next step towards career or entrepreneurial success.

We run training courses to help you get back into work and to help you start a new business. For most of our mums, the first step is coming along to one of our free taster sessions. These are a great platform to get started on your journey. We currently run these taster sessions on a monthly basis across a range of locations.
