Professional Development: Preparing for Work in the UK

The course will introduce you to many different sectors and job roles, where to look for job opportunities, and discuss employment rights and responsibilities. You will learn how to put forward your work experience, educational qualifications and hobbies and interests; understand the vocabulary often used in job adverts, job descriptions and what an employer is looking for when recruiting for a position. You will also look at terms and conditions of different types of employment, the culture and custom in different work places and help to improve your understanding of what to expect. There will be an opportunity for you to undertake a mock job interview to improve your communication, confidence and presentation skills. We will help you put together a personal action plan based on the goals you want to achieve in the world of work to help you to identify your next steps.

To enrol on this course, you will also need a minimum of Entry 2 or 3 English to participate in this course. If you have not already had a skills assessment to check your English level we can arrange this and refer you to suitable preparation courses so that you can reach the minimum level.
