National Careers Week 2026
We’re proud to be supporting National Careers Week – a nationwide celebration of careers guidance, employability and progression opportunities throughout the UK.
From the 2-7 March, education providers, employers and support organisations will come together to inspire individuals of all ages to explore career pathways, develop workplace skills and plan their next steps with confidence.
Spring into March with a new or updated CV
This March, we’ll be focusing on helping you build a professional, ready-to-use CV. During class time, you will:
- Create a brand-new CV or update your existing one
- Learn what employers look for
- Highlight your skills, strengths, and achievements
- Receive guidance on layout, structure, and wording
- Walk away with a ‘starting point’ CV you can use for applications and work opportunities.
What's happening at MAES?
Throughout the week, we’ll be holding online workshops. This programme of workshops will focus on different themes, supporting you to connect to your future.
Confident Job Searching: Tips and Techniques to Move Forward
Your Future, Your Plan: A Guide to Career Planning
Where the Jobs Are: Understanding Your Local Labour Market
Working In: two-day employability short courses
Our Preparation for Work team are holding two-day Working In employability short courses in March at our centres in Crumpsall, Moss Side and Wythenshawe.
These courses are designed to help you explore careers in the NHS and digital sector.
You will learn about opportunities in these sectors, the key skills employers look for, and the training available. Gain practical tips on strengthening your CV to match roles and boost your chances of success.
Support for career and progression
Our commitment to career development goes beyond National Careers Week. Not only do we offer ongoing support through our own Careers and Progression service, employability work shops and short courses, but also through signposting to other organisations and support services that can help with owning your future.
