Returner Programmes
A returner programme offers the opportunity for employers to access a largely untapped pool of senior and high-calibre experienced and motivated individuals who have taken an extended career break and are keen to get back to their profession. The programmes offer returners a re-introduction to the workplace and address issues such as confidence as well as updating industry-specific knowledge. Businesses benefit from developing a pool of experienced talent. If you are running a returner programme get in touch.
