Career Coaching has exploded on to the guidance scene over the last few years bringing its lovers and sceptics in equal measure. But if pressed, few of us could really articulate what exactly it is and fewer still have a clear sense of how coaching techniques can be used to support our clients. This one day conference will show delegates what career coaching is, and backed up with research based evidence, will give delegates some tools and techniques from the field of coaching that they can incorporate into their practice.

Sustaining Homelessness services: Can you prove yours is needed?

The importance of accurate data collection is fundamental in order for the homeless sector to make an impact and maintain its funding. Accurate data can highlight weaknesses in service provision so that needs can be identified and solutions formulated. This free half day event will provide simple methods to help managers and commissioners successfully show the importance and the need to attain precise evidence in the homelessness sector.

The Work Programme is the largest single welfare to work scheme the UK has ever seen. Specialist providers from the public, private and voluntary sectors are being paid for the results they achieve.  They now have more freedom than ever before in how they design and deliver their services.

However, the Work Programme will only succeed if providers understand employers’ needs and can help to meet them.

Working is one of the primary routes out of poverty and out of homelessness.

The benefits of working are far wider than just financial ones, both for the community as well as the individual. Working can significantly contribute to the recovery and resettlement of an individual, improving their health, self-esteem and social standing. Whilst society benefits from greater social cohesion and reduced intergenerational worklessness.

The economic downturn has led to a more uncertain and precarious jobs market. Unemployment
has reached its highest point for twenty years and the media is rife with stories of how the economic
downturn is hitting young people, graduates and adult job seekers. However, despite these
difficulties, there are still opportunities for employment. The need to replace those retiring alone
will generate millions of job openings in the next decade. In addition, a number of sectors are
expected to grow and generate additional jobs.
