General information

New Directions is a local project that helps unemployed young women (18-30) build a better future through FREE employability support and life skills development. The support is offered in and around Rushmoor, Hart and Camberley with a drop-in and workshop hub at the Aldershot Enterprise Centre in Aldershot.

The support we offer includes 1:1 guidance with hands-on employability support such as writing and updating CV’s, drafting cover letters, applying on-line, and job interview practice. The 1:1 support includes a needs analysis and development of an action plan. We also use the virtual reality platform Bodyswaps as a tool to prepare participants for job interviews.

All workshops for young women between 18-30 are in person and include lunch, unless indicated otherwise. Come and join us! Free Parking available at the back of the Aldershot Enterprise Centre.

This workshop is made possible with funding from The National Lottery Community Fund.
