Engineer helped to return to work

Aug 30, 2024 | News

Staffordshire Jobs and Careers has helped a mechanical engineer get back to work following a career break to look after her family.

Shumaila Hisham is now working with multinational energy equipment manufacturing and services company GE Vernova in Stafford after contacting the experts to get a skills and confidence boost.

Shumaila said that working with the service’s employment brokers helped her feel more confident and crucially got her on the government’s STEM ReCharge programme to polish her resume and interview skills.

Shumalia said: “Mechanical engineering has always been my passion and I really wanted to get back into it after taking a break to care for my family. There are so many opportunities in Staffordshire, but I needed some help.

“It was always such a positive experience working with the Staffordshire Jobs and Careers employment brokers – they really took the time to understand what was right for me and had a lot of knowledge about the local job market.

“For other recruiters, I was just a CV. But, with Staffordshire Jobs and Careers, I was an individual with transferable skills which was very positive for me.”

“Many people want to get back into work after a break or are looking for a career change, but don’t know where to start. The recruitment experts offer free one-to-one sessions that not only look at transferable skills, but also what training or development each person needs.”

With more than 10,000 local jobs and opportunities, Staffordshire Jobs and Careers is ready to help any resident with their next step and can be contacted at www.staffsjobscareers.com
