Skills & Employment

At the heart of every progressive business is the desire to elevate and empower its employees. As one of the UK’s leading specialist intervention partners, Kirkwood Consulting champions this very drive. With our tailored approach, we delve deep into the challenges and barriers faced by participants to curate solutions aimed at upskilling professionals and graduates to re-enter the market with their career aspirations intact.

Ensuring this deep-rooted understanding is essential to us, as it forms the foundation of our tailored training solutions. These are not off-the-shelf programmes; they are curated with precision to not just align with but surpass geographic and regional requirements. In a rapidly evolving professional landscape, Kirkwood Consulting remains steadfast and unwavering in its mission, dedicated to ensuring that professional and meaningful training is available to unemployed professionals and graduates.

Over the last 15 years we have built an outstanding reputation for consistently providing a high level of service to our service users and for the innovation of our contract delivery. Our goal is simple yet profound: to transform the narrative surrounding age in the professional realm. In this journey of transformation, we lay the foundations for not just individual growth but also societal change, where age is viewed not as a limitation, but as a testament to resilience and adaptability.

We work to:

  • Increase the overall levels of employment by working with charities, non-profit organisations, community groups, local and national employers
  • Increase the number of BAME graduates into STEM roles within Finance and Engineering
  • Increase the number of lone parents into employment or further training
  • Provide effective career coaching and mentoring as part of our response to redundancy programme
  • Match individuals seeking employment with the jobs available and address skills gaps where necessary to make them more marketable
  • Support individuals with job applications, CVs and statements for application forms, interview tips and techniques
  • Give each delegate an inside view on what hiring managers are looking for
  • Help the long term unemployed recognise their own skills and build their confidence and self-esteem to move them into new careers
  • Aid disadvantaged/minority groups, removing the barriers to enable them to find sustainable employment
  • Champion social mobility and diversity
  • Provide continuous support to our client groups during their transitional period into employment
  • Assist budding entrepreneurs with business start-up advice and guidance
