Barclaycard Horizons - Your Work

Updated July 2008

Working can make a big difference to how you feel about yourself as well as improving your finances but we know that if you've been out of work for some time, it's a big step and can seem daunting.

This special programme will help in a number of ways:

help boost your self confidence and allow you to explore your options;
provide you with an opportunity to build your skills for work; and
help you explore the world of work.

Meals and travel costs are provided and there is help with childcare costs.

What do lone parents say about it?

'The skills I've learned are really useful. I feel more assertive.' -Hayley

'This programme has given me enthusiasm and helped my self esteem.' - Lindsey

Mary's story

"Before starting on the Barclaycard course I felt really unsure of what skills I had to offer and how I would cope in the workplace. The course covered so many different aspects of working life such as flexible working opportunities, how to fund childcare, CV writing ...all the elements of returning to work that seem so daunting when you've been out of touch for so long."

"The last two weeks at Barclaycard have given me such a confidence boost and changed my attitude to work completely. My buddy has been a great support and has helped me to recognise my achievements, enabling me to write a CV that I can really be proud of. I've even applied to a few jobs, so fingers crossed!"
