Career Breaks

In life, we are always learning, growing, and developing. Career Breaks are taken for a whole host of reasons including for career transition, sabbatical, illness, family, or post redundancy.  On a career break, you are continually developing new skills. The key is to recognise this and seize the opportunities along the way. CareerBreak People are here to support you in your continued development and to help you maintain your motivation and confidence throughout.

We recognise the value of career breaks

We provide you with the confidence and tools to take a career break from the paid workplace

We support you throughout your career break

We give you a springboard for your return to work

Often when you start a break you are focussing on the new life event ahead and don't take stock of where you are in your career. However, there is value in just touching base with where you are and taking note. It is very rare that those of us on long career breaks know when and how we might return to work. The career break can be as short as 1 year or 15 years +. An unexpected life event might occur and require an earlier return.

Thanks to you & your brilliant CareerBreak People I really am getting back to work!

I feel so fulfilled and stimulated and it's all thanks to YOU!

I can't thank Pondero and Ronnie enough for the stimulating, friendly, professional and fascinating talks.

I have grown in confidence in my ability and have returned to study in London for a career change.

Whilst it would be easy to fall back into similar types of work, the workshop highlighted to me that this is a fantastic opportunity to do something different and perhaps more rewarding.

Many thanks for a thoroughly productive, positive and insightful session yesterday. I found it very rewarding.

I really benefitted from the Return to Work workshop and have already passed on details to friends who are in a similar position.

LOVED this morning's talk - great brain stretching scientific stuff!

Pondero Attendee

Winchester

Looking after a young family can be all consuming and independent views on different subjects helped me to put important issues into perspective.

I love Pondero because it has broadened my horizons on subjects I wouldn't necessarily have sought out, and also provided incredibly helpful, timely, appropriate advice in important areas of concern for my family and me. I have always felt welcome.
