WISE Employment empowers employers to find the right staff, and job seekers to find meaningful work.
If you have been out of work for a day, months or years, we can help. We get to know you so we can carefully tailor our services to your specific training, health and living needs. We empower you with the skills and confidence to get and keep meaningful work.
We sit down with you and discuss your needs then we carefully select people with the right skills and experience to fill your vacancies and suit your workplace culture. Our services are cost-free. Wage subsidies are often available for employing WISE jobseekers.
Our training programs help you build the skills you need to get and keep a job or to improve your life. Our courses include daily life skills, resume writing, interview techniques and certificates in business, hospitality and retail.
Enrich your life and have fun along the way by participating in the free WISE Coaching for Life blog at www.wisecoachingforlife.com. Each month, WISE Coach Rod Steele covers a new topic with weekly blog posts, including practical tips, exercises and techniques that grow you skills and knowledge. The blog is interactive, so you can ask questions, ask for advice and engage with Rod and other blog followers. There will be some prizes too!

“My prospects weren’t looking too bright until I was put in contact with WISE St Albans. With their guidance, care and support I now had the courage to go back into the work force.
