This training will build your confidence in developing new and ongoing relationships with employers.

Learning objectives
The learning objectives include:

- tools and tips on developing relationships with employers
- develop a ‘working pitch’ for each employment specialist
- opportunities to practise skills and get feedback
- applying the ‘three cups of tea’ method.
