Career Hub

Career Hub is a monthly event for StandOut participants who have been released from prison, hosted at our offices or by one of our employer partners.

Our Career Hubs give the men we are supporting in the community the opportunity to update their CVs, receive coaching support from the team, and meet with inclusive employers in a relaxed environment that encourages enquiry and conversation. It’s also a space in which mutual mentoring and encouragement takes place, thanks to our participants’ shared experience of life after prison.

We are also grateful to have partnered with PA Consulting, who have supported several Career Hubs through the use of their office space, and the knowledge and expertise of their employees. These modified Career Hubs offer participants the opportunity to experience a professional work environment and to work alongside a volunteer from PA to update a CV, create a LinkedIn profile, or learn job searching skills.

Career Hub is part of the open-ended support we offer participants, that bridges the transition between prison and the community.

"Today was really useful. I had my own ideas coming in but I found out some really useful things, worked on my CV and my next steps are to chase up some opportunities and take on some advice for boosting my CV."

"Only a Pavement Away loved to be involved in the StandOut Career Hub. It is a fantastic way to bring together some of our employment partners and the fantastic pool of candidates who have recently left prison. It is great to see the magic that happens when these two sides are brought together; employers see the amazing talent looking to join hospitality and candidates meet employers who do not see their past conviction as a blocker to joining their teams."

Amy Bennion, Only A Pavement Away

"Career Hub is a fantastic set up: a relaxing environment, leading to open conversations and discussions, where individuals can learn more about a career in our industry and how we work with StandOut to make this a reality."
