 EMPLOYABILITY

 Programme

The Sophie Hayes Foundation looks forward – renewing confidence, purpose and employability.

By taking best practice in coaching, facilitation and training, we support women survivors in a bespoke and creative way through group workshops, one to one coaching, vocational voluntary & work placements, access to training, and formal education. 

Currently in London and the south, the West Midlands and soon to launch in Manchester and the north, the organisation aims to support more survivors to rebuild independent, purposeful lives. 

Our programme is designed to help women survivors:

Walk away from fear and become independent members of society

Become employable with new skills and experiences

Gain practical knowledge from writing CVs, to interview skills and digital training

Build their confidence through coaching and career planning

Access new opportunities for studying, internships, volunteering and work placements

June, a qualified accountant, dreamed of continuing her chosen profession in the UK and leave the life of abuse behind. The Sophie Hayes Foundation supported her in re-gaining her confidence and rebuilding her hopes and dreams. Through a partnership with a leading hotel chain June’s confidence was further developed as she successfully applied for a scholarship at leading London University.

June's commitment to become an independent member of society as a chartered accountant is now one step closer.
