Workshops 2008

Coming up in the next few months are a series of workshops suitable for individuals facing redundancy or wanting a career change, needing help writing their CV’s or need to improve their interview skills. We are also running stress management workshops for both employees and managers. Once we have ten people signed up for each workshop, we can donate a FREE place to a local charity (via Connect Dacorum), so you will also be helping others as well as yourself.

Special Offer: Places are very limited as we like to keep the groups small in order for you to get individual attention and obtain maximum benefit, so book now to ensure a place and get a massive "early bird" discount. We also guarantee that if you are not satisfied with the workshop, then we offer you a full no-quibble refund. So what have you got to lose?
