Everyone will leave the morning workshop equipped with new skills for entering the job market. Furthermore, attendees will be invited to access WorkEqual’s free coaching, mentoring, and styling services after the event for as long as the support is needed.

Typically, 6 out of 10 women who use the WorkEqual services reach their employment goal. This is thanks to the knowledge and skill of volunteers who come from business workplaces across Ireland, as well as a network for professional stylists whose expertise provides wardrobe solutions and boosts confidence. Over the past 13 years, WorkEqual’s volunteer network and bespoke initiatives have helped 6,000 people move forward in their career journey.

Commenting ahead of the upcoming Kilkenny event, WorkEqual CEO Su Duff said: “It’s thanks to the practical and charitable support of State Street Foundation and their team of volunteers, as well as on the ground engagement with Intreo, that we’re able to provide this free interactive career event in Kilkenny. Previous participants of a workshop of this ilk report that the personal impact of this is immeasurable.

 “Our free services are grounded in an ethos of kindness, respect and understanding, so we meet people exactly where they are on their path to employment, ensuring every support is very tailored and at the right pace for each person. As a result, WorkEqual clients talk about having renewed self-belief, feelings of significance, value and readiness to work. We believe that anyone attending our event at State Street Kilkenny will feel like they’ve made a significant step in this direction.”
