“I found working with Better Jobs, Better Futures very professional and productive. The team supported me with my job applications which successfully resulted in securing employment. I would strongly recommend the support to anyone looking to secure employment and I am very grateful for all of the help they have given me.”

“Better Jobs, Better Futures has provided incredible support as I’ve explored different career paths. From day one, they have gone above and beyond to help me realise my potential. It’s not only been about getting a job that pays the bills, but about finding out what I truly love doing and working towards making that career a reality.”
Asha
“I felt relieved with the support because it got me where I wanted to be in life. I’ve been speaking with my Career Coach on a weekly basis for the past few months; we’ve applied for jobs together and I’ve had help to prepare for interviews. All this work paid off and I was offered a job which I’m really enjoying. I have truly started to believe in myself.”
Messi
“Thanks to the amazing coaches at Better Jobs, Better Futures I managed to secure a new role for the new year and I’m excited about starting another chapter in my life. I would highly recommend the service and would not have had to the confidence to apply for the role without their continuous help and support.”

What does the support look like?
The programme is delivered through a flexible approach, which recognises and adapts to each individual’s needs. You’ll be assigned a dedicated Career Coach, who will work with you to develop and deliver a tailored employability programme to meet your specific needs and aspirations. We’ll work with you step by step to secure the right opportunity for you and we’ll support you for as long as needed after entering employment to maximise your chances of progressing further when the time is right.
Every individual’s programme is unique and tailored to their own specific needs and goals, but the following activities provide an example of the type of support on offer:
- one-to-one coaching and mentoring;
- employability and job search skills;
- recruitment support and interview preparation;
- job-specific skills and certification;
- access to self-employment support; and
- assistance with practical support such as travel expenses or childcare.
The programme also works directly with employers to create and match individuals into job opportunities through a dedicated workforce advice and recruitment brokerage service.
