Since Covid, older workers are the most likely to have become economically
inactive (House of Commons, 2021), with only a third of self-employed people
over the age of 54 still working. One in five people reporting that they could
not carry on work as usual because of pandemic related issues (Institute for
Fiscal Studies, 2020). One third of the UK employment market is currently aged
over 50 (Centre for Better Ageing, 2020). Companies across England can no longer
discriminate against older people. There is a need to increase recruitment of
skilled, experienced personnel, who, through no fault of their own, find
themselves in a very tough employment and recruitment situation. Many people
over the age of 45, find that they need upskilling and help to move forward and
make career adjustments. We facilitate learning for the prospective Employees
and guide Companies to achieve the highest standard through their people. We
focus on technology, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), wellbeing, and
advertising to reach the key audience when looking for work. The issue is one of
technology, Applicant Tracking Systems, (ATS) and the need for a unique CV that
is non-Bias and one that can navigate these systems with ease. We help with
reprogramming the mindset and overcoming the perceived barriers to regain
self-respect and employment. With the increasing skills shortage across the UK,
a large number of companies are reliant on recruitment agencies for both lower
level roles and senior roles. The skills are there but due to the employers need
to utilise intuitive recruitment systems in house, they are missing those who
are just as capable of completing the role. Many people are not ‘Marketing
People’ so cannot write a CV in order to sell themselves! We started our journey
in 2017 with courses for the over 45’s, since then we have grown our courses to
also have one which focuses on getting professionals back to work – those who
have been managers, directors, business owners, who have lost work due to a
variety of reasons within the economy and elsewhere. We now work with colleges
and job centres to help people achieve their goals, find work, train and grow to
where they deserve to be. We also have a selection of distance learning courses
available, where people can focus on a particular area they would like to move
their career towards. Contact us today for learning opportunities, employment
courses, and the next step in finding both work and the mindset so achieve your
individual goals.
