Career Matters trains individuals and groups how to improve their prospects and advance their careers through the identification of skills and strengths, the understanding of business requirements, and career branding.
Through one to one sessions or workshops, staff learn to ‘position’ and ‘market’ identify their skills and strengths, match them to projects and roles and market themselves for them. for their chosen career roles and They are then supported in writing targeted CVs and LinkedIn profiles and in improving interview technique. In the process, we find that self-confidence grows as they begin to understand their value to the organisation and its purpose.
Won’t employees just use the courses to apply for roles elsewhere?
In our experience, employees attending our sessions and workshops feel more valued and supported by their organisation and are more likely to apply for new positions within. This in turn helps internal mobility, employee retention and succession to more senior roles, saving you time, money and headaches!

Training for Career Development
“We’ve had Julie facilitating our CV Writing and Interview Skills training for a year now, and the feedback we receive from employees about Julie’s sessions is always really positive. More recently during the COVID-19 crisis, Julie moved to offering 1-1 surgeries via Microsoft Teams or Zoom to our employees who are preparing to apply for internal vacancies. Julie has been a delight to work with, professionally she knows her subject matter as an expert should, but it’s her genuinely caring approach that seems to give people that extra level of confidence you need when you’re looking to develop your career.”
