Returning to the workforce after a career break can be daunting. It can be overwhelming to navigate resume gaps, industry changes and outdated skills. “I’m ready to return to work, but where do I start?” is the most common question we hear from people in midlife looking to re-enter the workforce.
Return to work with a relaunch course
Whatever your reasons for stepping away, taking a deep breath and diving back in often requires a combination of grit, determination and, of course, patience. Knowing where or how to start can feel like a challenge.
The good news? You do not need to face the return-to-work journey alone. Several supports and resources are available to help you step back into your career with renewed confidence. Relaunch courses are a perfect example.
What is a relaunch course?
A relaunch course is a programme designed to guide you through the unique challenges of re-entering the workforce. Taking part in a relaunch course is a great way to ease back into work because they offer a variety of hands-on support mechanisms, upskilling opportunities, peer networks, 1:1 mentoring and more.
They are a fantastic, flexible option for returners who need guidance on the next steps. Classes are typically part-time, run on a short-term basis and are a perfect blend of practical and theoretical lessons. Ultimately, they aim to provide the instruction, inspiration and practical tools you need to relaunch successfully in a flexible format that fits your life, schedule and goals.
