The COVID19 pandemic has affected every person on our wide world, and the return to a sense of 'normal' has felt fraught.  So how do we cope now?

For some, the pandemic highlighted personal challenges, grief and illness, for others a loss of job occurred, or a choice to resign from work was made. Difficulties have been felt across the globe.

Careers After COVID is a course which aims to allievate some of the problems and hurts experienced in the neurodivergent community. Let's explore the chapters:


Chapter 1: Times of Change explores the challenges of job loss and how to cope. We will explore what the "new normal" can look like for you, and how you can work your situation to your advantage.


Chapter 2: Validating Experiences uncovers grief and looks at letting go. This second Chapter will help validate your feelings on this shared, yet unique and complex experience of job loss as an ND individual navigating a pandemic.


Chapter 3: Reflections for Growth unpacks "Self-Knowledge" where we discover what can be done.  What kind of path can you shape? Perhaps take up study, change careers paths, or find new and create ways to adapt to a remote work environment?


Chapter 4: Bouncing Back helps you begin perfecting your CV and applying for a job. We talk about the ins and outs of cover letters, references and all the bureaucratic processes often underpinning job attainment from a global perspective.  


This is one of our regular 'short' courses that will take you about 25-35 hours to complete, should you engage with all the materials fully.
