Our cohorts include, early school leavers and lone parents who have never worked, women emerging from long-term caring responsbilities or long-term illness to re-engage with the labour market, migrant women and women in the asylum system. Our program maps the experiences and lifeskills of each participant harnessing their talents and motivations towards new training and employment opportunities. In line with NSP&#8217;s foundational principle of Advantaged Thinking, Careers in Mind is committed to making a positive investment in participants by developing their strengths supporting them in lifelong learning, employment and personal development. We understand that each participant who comes to us has a unique set of attributes to offer the labour market. We help them to explore their strengths and perceived barriers through our personal development module helping them to root out negative thinking about themselves. This process of learning leads to meaningful goal setting and action planning facilitating women to see themselves as having equitable access to the labour market especially markets where women are typically underrepresented and building their confidence to access opportunities through relevant training opportunities, mentoring and career preparation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In line with Goal 8, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Careers In Mind supports women who are at a distance from the labour market to achieve quality educational opportunities and work towards achieving meaningful and long-term working opportunities. We work with participants, employers and local education providers to connect women with opportunities to realise their potential. Our programme rests upon the principle that employment and participation in meaningful activity is necessary for wellbeing and for women to reach their potential and contribute to society.<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Target group, beneficiaries or clients<\/b><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">text<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Solution<\/b><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The programme has to date supported 75 women back into education and training with a goal of engaging with 150 women by programme end date. The programme has as its core focus quality education and training experiences for women returning to the labour force, supporting them to build their confidence, develop action plans, achieve accreditation and make progress towards their ambitions. Women are supported to explore their strengths, talents and skills as they navigate a new journey to employment through lifelong learning.<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Innovation<\/b><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0\u00a0text<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Unique Selling Point<\/b><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While Careers in Mind is an employability programme that focusses on getting women back into the workforce it represents so much more than that. Each one of the participants on the programme comes to us at a particular stage of their own<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">personal journey. We cover topics such as CV prep, interview skills and employability training but we also provide a space that allows women to share their personal experiences and build a community together where they can support, encourage<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and empower one another.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The programme is underpinned by Northside Partnership\u2019s Advantage thinking approach, focussing on a participant\u2019s strengths, not their limitations. This approach aids us in developing a space where women feel like they can achieve their goals by exploring their own unique abilities.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We also offer an opportunity for our participants to engage in education at QQI level 3 . For some of our participants this has been a new beginning to their educational journey. Completion of the programme and receiving their certificates is an immense source of pride for the participants . Not only is it a boost to their personal confidence , it also allows them to reimagine, the person they are and the person they could become .<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Impact<\/b><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To date 36 women out of 75 have progressed to education and training.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">26 women progressed to employment.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">27 women have achieved a QQI level 3 unit module while completing the programme.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">95% of women reported higher levels of confidence and self-esteem having attended the programme.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most women reported improved communication skills verbally and written having attended the programme.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of our participants regularly returns to the programme as a guest speaker to inspire new participants as they begin their journey with us. This has been well-recieved by current participants as embark on their learning.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During and upon completion of the CIM programme, I have observed improvements in my clients&#8217; confidence, self-esteem and self-worth. Despite different lives, circumstances and cultures, my clients have reported reduction in anxiety, improved mental health, and have identified feeling a sense of purpose as women, making their own choices and following their own<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dreams, independent of their circumstances and roles and responsibilities in their families. As a Family Support Worker, it is ieally nice to see the women we work with feeling empowered and having goals for themselves which improve their opportunities, health and wellbeing, and can increase their economic independence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Feasibility\/Transferability<\/b><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><span
