I had my first appoinment with an “Employment Coach” today. For those wondering, A4e caterogise their staff as folllows:
- Personal Career Coach (Who I’ve been dealing with up until now)
- Trainers (Who provide in-house training – more on this later)
- Employment Coach (From the “Promotional book” – “…Your Employment Coach will help you to obtain both work placements and long-term employment. In short, they’ll create employment opportunities for you…”)
- In-Work Mentor (Offer support while you’re in work).
So how did I get to this stage? I guess I’d better catch up on what’s been happening the last few months while I haven’t been super-active in keeping this blog updated.
