Join us on the 2024 Back2businessship Marketing Communications Returners Programme during March 2024 in Central London.

Are you a Media, Marketing or Communications/PR professional who has taken time out of your career for caring reasons?
Are you now looking to get back into the workplace?
If so, the Back2businessship programme, now in it´s 11th year, could be a great programme to help you launch an entry back into your career.
The programme is exclusively for Returners who have over a decade of experience in marketing, media, PR and communications and over 3 years out of the workplace to raise a family or for other caring responsibilities. We are particularly looking for applicants from minority ethnic & lower socio-economic backgrounds.

The intensive 6 day Re-orientation Back-to-work Programme includes modules on personal development, job searching and marketing and communications sector skills. Highlights include changes and progress in the world of work including digital, social media & creative, data analytics, along with the myths & reality of AI in Marketing.
There will be a range of coaching and training sessions led by industry professionals as well as case studies and presentations by inspirational individuals who have returned to the workplace successfully after a career break.
The final day of the Re-orientation Back-to-work Programme features our final day delegate networking event session where up to 30 representatives from top Companies attend to meet delegates.

The 6 day Re-orientation Back-to-work Programme will run in Central London for 6 days over 2 weeks.

Applicants must be available for all days for the full timetable. Applicants must be eligible to work in the UK and hold a valid work permit.

A place on the programme is free.
The programme is delivered and financially supported by f1 recruitment ltd with match funded financial support from our Associates.
