Public Sector Projects and Coaching Associates
Designer Life offers a dynamic service to the
public sector on 'Employment and Training' projects.
With unemployment rising and many people economically in-active, our aim is to assist Providers with a specialist intervention service focused on helping people get back to work and/or, the all important, employment sustainability.
This is carried out, not just using the traditional methods of ‘advice and guidance’ of cv writing, interview skills and job searching strategies, but to really coach service users to identify and break down barriers they are facing whilst finding work and also when in work.
Coaching is a mutually agreed partnership and is goals driven. It’s difficult for a person to successfully find a job and then stay in it for more than 52 weeks if there are barriers in their personal life or state of mind. Coaching is a powerful and liberating technique that acts as a catalyst for people to release their inner potential and achieve goals much more quickly. It allows them to develop their own skills and knowledge and change their behaviour and attitude and raising their own self-awareness.

An empowering service to help your customers stay happy, In work and out of work.
Our service is designed for the Welfare to work sector and aims to help 100's of people into sustainable employment each year. We help you reach your target through our specialised programmes which is a dynamic blend of coaching, mentoring and personal growth strategies.
We believe that the conventional 'careers advice and guidance' is not always suitable to every single customer as each person learns and absorbs information differently and people come onto the Work Programme with a wide variety of barriers and problems.
By offering a blend of bespoke solutions we feel we have the edge on helping turn lives around for the good.

Inbiz is a market leader in supporting start up Businesses and Enterprise. I was working with Inbiz before the merger and growth with TNG and Avanta. As a Business advisor I was coaching and advising clients from conception of an idea to marketing the business and generating clients and an income. Working closely with Jobcentre Plus referrals we helped the unemployed who had a desire to go into Business rather than employment. This involved working on a 1:1 basis and assisting them with all aspects of starting up a small business.
