Free courses and qualifications designed around mums.
Let’s get you back to work!
Many mums tell us they worry they have been out of work too long, lack confidence or feel left behind with technology. Our courses are designed around mums and parenting, to help you realise how much you already have to offer, bring your digital skills and CV up to date, and help you find a job you love!
All our courses are fully funded and designed to fit around family life. We’ve supported over 12,000 mums through our award-winning coaching, training and links to our network of family friendly employers.

“I had been out of work for around 10 years raising my boys. I felt really lost and lacked confidence, and I didn’t even know where to start with my job searching. Everything felt overwhelming and I wasn’t sure what I had to offer anymore.”
