A free six-week programme for women in the West Midlands. Build your confidence, develop
your communication skills and take your next step into employment or self-employment.
You want to build your confidence but are not sure where to start
You are looking for work or thinking about going back to work
You want to start or grow your own business
You want to develop your communication and professional skills in a supportive
environment
You have faced barriers such as a career break, caring responsibilities, redundancy
or a difficult personal experience

Building Confidence and Recognising Your Skills
We explore confidence, self-belief and personal strengths. You will identify the natural skills
you already have and start to challenge the beliefs that may be holding you back.

Communication Skills for Work, Life and Sales
Strong communication opens doors. We cover active listening, relationship building, asking
the right questions and how to communicate effectively in any situation.

Understanding Sales and Career Opportunities
We demystify sales and show you the wide range of careers and employment opportunities
where your skills are genuinely valued. No prior sales experience needed.

Building Resilience and Professional Confidence
We look at how to handle setbacks, develop a resilient mindset and strengthen your
professional presence — in interviews, in the workplace and in life.

Employability Skills and Career Preparation
We focus on transferable skills, how to present your strengths to employers and how to
prepare for the next opportunity — whether that is employment or starting your own
business.

Personal Action Planning and Next Steps
We bring it all together. You will leave with a clear, personal action plan and an
understanding of the progression and support available to you beyond the programme.
Greater confidence in yourself and your abilities
Practical communication and professional skills
A clearer understanding of employment and business opportunities
A personal action plan for your next step
