Course Description
Finding the right job and securing the offer may require you to overcome specific employment challenges. If you have gaps in your employment history or you lack some skills for the role, you may still impress recruiters by demonstrating self-awareness and potential. On this course, we explore barriers to employment that people encounter and share ways to overcome them.

Do you know your mindset has a drastic influence on numerous aspects of your life in the workplace? This includes your overall productivity during the workday, your enjoyment of the working environment and how you interact with those around you, such as your colleagues or supervisors. Understanding more about your mindset and how this impacts your performance at work enables you to make any necessary changes to improve your mindset. During this course, we explain what mindsets exist and the importance of choosing the right mindset in the workplace.
