Career support resources
Foothold works with a range of organisations who provide career support to engineers.
Careers can have a significant impact on wellbeing
Work represents a big chunk of our adult lives. Which makes it really important that we get the most out of work and receive help with any issues that come up.
Whilst Foothold doesn't provide direct career support ourselves, we've pulled together some fantastic sources of information to help you with your work.
Whether you're at the beginning of your engineering career, looking to move forward in an already established one, or need some help getting your career back on track, we hope you find the sources of information below really helpful.
