In a supportive and encouraging environment, participants receive hands-on coaching across the key areas that can make starting work feel more achievable. From learning how to translate their strengths and experience into a professional CV, to preparing for job interviews and understanding how to present themselves with confidence, the program helps turn potential into practical readiness. Participants also receive guidance in professional styling, grooming and hair and makeup presentation, helping them feel prepared not only on paper, but in person. Throughout the program, young women learn alongside others at a similar stage, building confidence, connection and a stronger sense of what they can bring to the workplace. [contact us](https://dfsvic.org/contact?hsLang=en) ## **CONFIDENCE TO CAREERS PROGRAM** #### **Turning life experience into career confidence.** Our Career Re-entry Program supports women who are ready to return to work, change direction or reconnect with their professional goals after time away from the workforce. The program helps participants recognise the value of the experience they already have including the skills developed through managing a household, raising a family, caring for others, volunteering or navigating major life changes and translate those strengths into a compelling professional story. Through practical coaching, women receive support with CV development, interview preparation, workplace presentation, personal styling and building the confidence to step back into professional environments. Just as importantly, the program provides a welcoming space to ask questions, rebuild momentum and connect with others who are navigating a similar transition. It’s about recognising their value, backing their experience and feeling ready to move forward with purpose.
