Navigating Redundancy & Industry Change Mentorship
Facing redundancy or industry shifts (e.g., charity to private sector)? Find mentors to help you explore new pathways, refine skills, and navigate career transitions.
Facing redundancy or navigating a significant industry shift can feel overwhelming—professionally and personally. Whether you're transitioning from the non-profit sector to the private sector, or adapting to changes within your current field, uncertainty is a natural part of the process. It’s okay to feel a mix of apprehension and hope as you consider your next steps.
Redefining your career path isn’t just about updating your resume—it’s about rediscovering your strengths, clarifying what motivates you, and identifying which of your hard-earned skills can open new doors. Many skills from non-profit or charity roles—like stakeholder engagement, project management, and mission-driven leadership—are highly valued in other industries. The challenge is learning how to articulate and position them for new opportunities.
“Mentorship changes everything. A fresh perspective can turn uncertainty into possibility.”
Mentors who have walked this path themselves provide invaluable support, encouragement, and practical strategies. They help you map out new career options, prepare for interviews, and network in unfamiliar sectors.
