A one-on-one meeting at the WorkEqual event at State Street
Forty women took part in a free interactive morning where attendees received one-on-one mentoring, talks and a workshop as part of their ongoing path to employment in Kilkenny on Tuesday.
Supported by State Street foundation, the Irish Public Employment Service and Intreo, the event offered attendees the chance to chat with State Street staff about CVs, employment journeys and interview advice.
They also heard speakers on returning to work after time out, building confidence and addressing imposter syndrome along with the workshop on preparing for employment and interviews in any field.
Attendees were invited to access WorkEqual’s free coaching, mentoring and styling services after the event for as long as the support is needed.
According to WorkEqual, six out of ten women who use their services reach their employment goal which it says is thanks to the knowledge and skill of volunteers from business workplaces across Ireland as well as a network of professional stylists who provide wardrobe solutions and boost confidence.

Over the past 13 years, WorkEqual’s volunteer network and initiatives have helped over 6,000 people move forward in their career journey.
Speaking ahead of the 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.”
“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,” she added.
