Step Up events

Our STEP-UP team will be out and about across the Wakefield district this September offering free impartial information on getting into work, returning to work, even starting your own business.

With lots of valuable career advice, tips on health and wellbeing, financial advice, along with housing and debt solutions – we know that life can sometimes be stressful, so we’re even offering free blood pressure checks.

Whether you need help writing a CV, suffer from a lack of confidence or interview anxiety, we have experts on hand to help you overcome whatever challenges you feel might be holding you back.    

Appointments aren’t necessary, just pop along to any of the drop-in sessions and look for the STEP-UP Banner.
