For returners, time spent reconnecting with their values and understanding why they do what they do professionally appears to be valuable in restoring self-confidence.

Come and meet others who have felt similarly, and reconnect with, or re-design, your career aims and aspirations. This is a relaxed, informal one-day workshop. The emphasis will be on exploring how you feel about your career in a non-judgemental environment. This day is completely independent from any discussion with faculty from your School or Trust.
