The second in our workshop series requires some pre-work. When you register, you'll be sent some exercises to complete for the workshop and they can be found on the Resources page of our website by selecting the 'Workshop 2' filter. 

The main exercises to complete are: 

1. Career exploration using AI
2. Curiosity exercise
3. Interests prodder exercise
4. Career timeline exercise

In small groups, we'll examine:

• ​​Your values
• ​Career themes and interests
• ​What needs you have

​You'll leave with more questions than answers, which we'll aim to shed some light on (in particular in workshop 4).

About our small member-only workshops:

• ​To enable free flowing discussion, we do not record sessions.
• You should come prepared to talk in small groups and be willing to share your experiences.
• ​The majority of our members work in professional roles, mums who've taken career breaks, people who are bored and want a change, people who've retired and want to go back to work, people over 45 looking for work but who feel frustrated.
