New Year, New Career: Planning Your 2026
SECAD are delighted to offer their free Employment Support monthly workshops, starting on Tuesday February 3rd at Cumann na Daoine (and other locations across the county).
This workshop supports people who want to plan their career goals for 2026.
* Reflect on your strengths, explore new opportunities, and identify your next steps.
* Learn how to set clear goals, discover work and training options, build confidence, enhance your CV, and prepare for interviews.
This support is open to anyone who is unemployed and looking at what their next step might be. You do not have to be in receipt of any payments (but can be).
The workshops are open to anyone over 18 and the support is free, impartial, and confidential.
SECAD’s target groups are listed below, but you are welcome even if you don’t identify with any of the groups. They ask people to register in advance, so staff can gauge numbers and have enough staff onsite to deliver one-to-one supports.
The link to register is below or you can use the QR code in the poster.
