Lifeworks Families (LWF) is an employability skills course that aims to help you find the right job for you, and having found it, to be able to get it! 

We do this by firstly evaluating our situation, and then how to plan to get after our goals. This leads into what we need to do, and why we need to follow certain ‘rules,’ as well as how to make all that work to increase the chances we get what we want. 

We cover so much more than how to write a CV, including a 5-course programme leading directly to nationally recognised qualifications. The 4 days are designed to work together as a whole rather than as individual sessions. Our qualifications package will provide you with a grounding in one of three career areas and provide a framework for your 12-month ‘Forward Assist’ period following the course. 

On the course we will talk about:

• Day 1 – Assess where you are right now and create an action plan to improve your situation. We look at how recruitment works and begin to develop a ‘skills library.’
• Day 2 – Why you must have a CV a certain way, including what you DON’T put in, creating that CV and tailoring it. You will also be introduced to, and complete some of, a qualifications package which is part of your course.
• Day 3 - Covering letters; completing applications; starting to formulate your thinking to tell people about yourself; tricky interview questions. 
• Day 4 – Interview technique and types of interview, preparing yourself and your thinking; a mock interview skills and where to get further support.

Many topics we cover might easily be called ‘Life Skills’ and there is certainly some that you can use for other situations, and even to help and support those around you.

Lifeworks is the employment support division of Royal British Legion Industries, a national charity supporting the Armed Forces. Following their service, ex-military personnel or reservists can experience difficulties transposing their skills into the civilian employment market, resulting in homelessness and a decline in their mental health. Our Lifeworks team ensures that the military community receives the best support possible through our FREE 4-day employment skills course within a year-long employment support programme. Not only does this cover the support but also covers the cost of travel, food, and accommodation (if necessary).

RBLI Lifeworks courses are held nationwide and tailored to suit the requirements of those who need them. Our specialist advisors and Vocational Assessors remain on hand throughout the journey to help them find the right opportunity. Lifeworks equips veterans, families, and reservists with the tools necessary to pursue their desired careers outside the Armed Forces.
