ConnectMyCareer is part of the charity’s commercial arm, with all proceeds invested back into our charity.
Originally launched in 2021, ConnectMyCareer’s products have been re-designed to meet the needs of the current labour market, with greater emphasis on individual online services, which anyone can purchase.
The service is suitable for people at any stage of the career journey.
ConnectMyCareer helps people explore their options and build the confidence to move on – whether that is career progression or a complete change in direction.
People can choose what works for them – access to the online ConnectMyCareer platform, online 1-2-1 support with a highly trained careers adviser, or both.
Companies making staff redundant can also purchase the service to help their staff move on in the best way possible.
ConnectMyCareer offers two main services:
Personal career management – this includes career coaching, CV and interview support for individuals considering a change or who want to build their confidence. People can opt for online 1-2-1 support with an adviser and/or use the ConnectMyCareer platform to access 1000s of videos with advice from hiring managers, CV tools and labour market insights. The platform’s in-built AI interview simulator analyses interview techniques and gives personalised individual feedback.
Packages start at just £49 for three months’ access to the online platform.
Redundancy support (Outplacement) – ConnectMyCareer can help businesses to support their staff when redundancy, downsizing or internal restructure situations become unavoidable. ConnectMyCareer advisers support staff to explore their options even before their leave date, helping them to plan their future with confidence. The highly-trained advisers can tailor support to suit career stages and goals for each person, and staff can also access the online platform. ConnectMyCareer can also provide support for the people who remain with the business – whether that is career coaching or access to the online platform which supports skills development and preparation for new responsibilities.
For the past 20 years Career Connect has been helping people of all backgrounds and ages find their way into the right education and employment for them. Experts and innovators, the charity prides itself on its people-centred approach, impartial advice, and highly qualified advisers who can help people get to where they want to be.
As a charity, every penny spent with Career Connect is invested in the wider work it does to support social mobility and empower even more people on their programmes to overcome significant barriers to education and employment.
Karen Parry, Director of Operations at Career Connect said:
“At Career Connect, we are proud to have more than 20 years of experience in delivering impartial career support, and we are now looking forward to bringing our expertise and career management product to both individuals and businesses.
“We are a people-focused organisation, and we know that each career journey is personal. Whether someone is a graduate, career-changer, looking to progress or entering the world of work for the first time or after a break, it is important they can access the right support for them. Our new packages have been designed to meet individual need.
“By developing our commercial activity, we can do even more work to support young people and adults facing significant barriers to get back into education, training or employment. Our commercial arm also supports research that helps us understand the needs of under-served young people and adults, enabling us to identify solutions that aid social mobility.”
