Skills Minister, Jack Sargeant, recently visited a Working Wales careers centre to meet individuals who have turned their careers around in their 40s and 50s with the support from a Working Wales career review.
Working Wales are currently running a campaign to encourage more people across Wales to take up the offer of their free career review.
The review is an opportunity to explore and consider new career possibilities with an experienced and professionally trained careers adviser. It is open to people of all ages who are considering a career change for any reason, which could include:
- Looking for a better work-life balance
- Planning a return to work after caring for others
- Nearing retirement but not wanting to retire fully
- Career progression
- Working in a shrinking sector and needing to diversify
- At risk of redundancy
- A change in health
- Wanting to make a dream career a reality
- Making a hobby into a career
Since Working Wales began in 2019 until the end of November 2024, it has supported over 180,000 customers; this includes support with a career change.
