First Step Careers

About Us

First Step Careers supports young people in taking their first step into employment by helping them build confidence, create strong CVs, prepare for interviews, and understand real career pathways. The aim is to make the transition from education into the workplace less intimidating and more accessible for young people who may not always know where to begin.

Who We Support

We support individuals with disabilities, chronic illnesses, neurodivergence, and other vulnerabilities who may need extra guidance when navigating employment, job applications, and workplace expectations.

Our aim is to make career support more accessible, supportive, and realistic for people who may not always feel represented in traditional career advice.
