Guidance from Future Bright for a Career Change
As part of my Universal Credit application, I attended a job fair at the job centre where Future Bright was offering their services. I was working in cleaning and housekeeping while studying Health Sciences at the Open University. Although I was interested in coaching, I wasn’t sure about my career direction after completing my degree, with three modules remaining.
After being matched with a Future Bright Careers Coach, I began working on my CV and exploring various courses related to coaching. I also read literature on coaching and mentoring and participated in workshops with Cool Ventures to develop a business plan, generate ideas, and improve my social media skills.
Through this process, I learned that opportunities are available, but finding them requires asking the right questions. Being open-minded and accepting feedback has helped me create a path for change and growth. The support from Future Bright has been instrumental in guiding me toward my career goals.
