Are you a coach or career coach who is looking to:
- enable your clients to transition more successfully:
– from education to work?
– from work to retirement? - open up a new business stream for your business?
Evolve Consulting Services and Career Counselling Services have combined to offer two unique licensing training programmes to use the Testing the Water® e-questionnaire and Testing the Water® toolkit with your own clients:
why licensing?
- we know that young people are finding the transition from education to work daunting: with over 80 applicants per graduate job, and 20.4% unemployment in young people in the UK.
- we know that older workers are finding the transition from work to retirement challenging: with only 50% of employers providing some form of support in the UK.
- we know that career coaches have asked to use the Testing the Water® e-questionnaire and Testing the Water® toolkit with their own clients.
Read on to find out more about the two licensing programmes:
