Bracknell Skills Hub Launch to Market Events
"The Bracknell Forest Hub has been very helpful thus far and I love the patience and attention to detail in trying to support me on this journey. I wish I had discovered the Hub earlier as I think I would have been further on my journey. The level of detail going into preparing a career plan was impressive and then further curating some options to aid my career path was very much appreciated.”
“This is fantastic and exactly the help I needed. When you are starting anew it’s so hard to know where to start and this gives me a framework from which I can move forward. It’s actually really quite exciting! Thank you so much for all your efforts and support so far. It really is much appreciated”
