Why this exists
A qualification is not the same as a network.
First-generation job seekers rarely lack ability. What they lack is the informal network that quietly converts a qualification into an interview: someone who knows a hiring manager, someone who can vouch for you, someone who tells you what the interview will actually be like.
That network is invisible to people who have always had it. Building a substitute for it is one of the most useful things a livelihood organisation can do.
- Interview preparation and mock interviews with real feedback
- Workplace readiness: communication, timekeeping, expectations
- Resume and documentation support, including bank and ID paperwork
- Direct introductions to employers actively hiring for that skill
- Follow-up through the first months in a new job
