Testimonials
What did you find most valuable about the workshops?
"Everything! This was the best course I've done by far through work - the skill of the facilitators, the framework used, the homework and face-to-face conversations."
“Since joining the Crafted Career Programme, I feel more confident discussing my career path with my manager. The structured approach made it easy to stay motivated and see real progress.”
“This programme was exactly what I needed — practical, well-paced, and easy to apply. I loved how it considered the whole person, not just career goals. The stories from others were inspiring and reminded me I’m not alone. I’m leaving with more confidence, clarity, and energy — thank you!”
"When I got an interview I quickly went to the interview programme of Crafted Career. I think it's safe to say that your content is spot on and I have never been so prepared for an interview. I've just resigned from my current role and am excited about this new position that gives me an important new challenge in my career."
"This programme struck a balance between empowering and supportive. It's accessible and framed in a realistic but positive manner."
"We have big changes coming in our business and I wanted to be prepared for when those changes come and I need to make decisions about what I want to do. Doing the programme has left me feeling far more in control and prepared with practical things I can work on. Thank you."
