CV Writing Workshop

During Drop-In on Monday 14th September, 4:30pm-6:30pm, we’ll be running a CV writing workshop.  We have been hearing from some of our youth that they would like some support and guidance around applying for jobs and writing a CV. We want to create a space where we can equip young people to feel more confident in putting together a CV and applying for jobs. Please bring a device if you have one, or we will have a couple that can be shared.
