Careers Analysis: the Key to Career Planning
When you join the gym you don’t begin by jumping on a rowing machine and blasting off into the blue. That’s the quick route to pulled muscles and a full stop to your ambitions. You start with a fitness check. This is a review of where you are, what you want to achieve, and what might stop you from getting there. Meeting a career professional is an ideal opportunity to carry out a fitness check on your career plans. Together you can discover where you are career-wise, explore your thoughts, identify possibilities and start to map the future. This is an important meeting – and as your career fitness develops you may find you want an annual check up. Each meeting: £285*

To expand and develop your career plans you can choose from a series of FP electives. These are designed to build on the strong foundation of your Careers Analysis and can be fitted into times in the year which suit you best.

  • 1st elective: £325*
  • 2nd elective: £300*
  • 3rd & subsequent electives: £275*

Workplace Personality Assessment
Do you suit a corporate business, or small company? Are you a leader or a team player? Would you direct, or delegate? Are you a planner or a doer? Where do you fit in the team?
Our psychometric tool (the Birkman Method) is a highly evolved and sophisticated assessment that identifies not only career ‘fit’ but also the working culture, size and environment most likely to bring you a high level of job satisfaction. It takes about 30 minutes to fill in online and the results are delivered in a detailed face-to-face debrief by a trained practitioner in the Future Prospect offices.
