Empowered Returners offer Solutions

We know that Returners love structured support that helps them:

• Rebuild confidence and recognise their value.
• Update and refine their technical and professional skills.
• Articulate their career break as a strength rather than a gap.
• Reintegrate into professional environments effectively.

This is where tailored programmes, like our 10-Week Empowered Returner Programme, plays a critical role. 

By providing a supportive, step-by-step framework, we empower Returners to regain their professional footing and excel in their careers.

At Empowering Your Career, we are committed to providing the highest quality products and services to our customers. 

Our mission is to help businesses of all sizes succeed by providing them with the tools and support they need to thrive in today's competitive market.

With extensive experience in training and development, I have had the privilege of working closely with Returners, helping them navigate their unique journeys back into the workforce. 

I have designed and delivered programmes that:

• Address their specific challenges.
• Celebrate and amplify their strengths.
• Equip them with the tools and confidence to re-enter the job market or transition into new roles seamlessly.

My work has involved one-on-one coaching, skill-building workshops, and strategic partnerships with businesses that value the contributions of Returners. 

This hands-on experience has shaped the structure and content of the 10-Week Returner Programme, ensuring it meets the needs of both individuals and organisations.

I look forward to working with you and helping you feel more Empowered, Hazel 

"I joined FDM as a returner in March 2022 having been made redundant after >30 years of experience in IT Infrastructure project and logistical management. Hazel’s ‘Returner Soft Skills’ course provided me with new and crucial soft skills that I honestly don’t recall having acquired during my previous career. It helped recovered my battered confidence.
Her ‘teaching’ style combines pragmatic learnings with inspirational leadership. She helped me believe I still had a future in the industry, and she did much to prepare me for the interviews that led to my early placement.
I am enormously grateful for Hazel’s input leading to my current employment and I highly recommend her as a guide and mentor to motivate her clients to be their best."

"I worked closely with Hazel during my time at FDM, where she delivered professional training skills to all of our Returners. Hazel was noted for being extremely professional and understanding, realising that for most, this part of the training was aimed at refreshing or updating skills they already possessed. She was able to help the Returners rebuild their confidence, taking time to get to know each student individually in order to understand their specific needs and challenges. Hazel always found the time to support us in other areas of the programme when asked, and I was able to trust Hazel to get things done.
