What can I study that would pretty much guarantee a job st the end of it?

I don’t really mind what it is, doesn’t need to be a ‘career’ or even that well paid, just something g that means I have a decent chance of employment at the end of it!

I have decent GCSEs and a’levels. Went to work rather than university which I definitely regret now. I have been a sahm for 7 years. Prior to that I worked in HR for a few years and also have admin and customer service experience. My children are 4 and 7 now and the youngest will be going to school next year so time to start thinking about jobs and it seems like studying something would be a good idea to get my brain back in to gear but I have no idea what I want to do!

Nursing?

I’m not looking to earn loads of money, and dhs input into childcare is minimal as his hours are long and he is away quite often.

I did start some cipd qualifications a few years ago so may look into picking that up again. Definitely need to do some refresher IT courses!

I do quite like the idea of health care assistant. I do a bit of volunteering in the hospital at the moment.

Anything to do with construction. The country desperately needs more houses, and there are significant skill shortages in almost all trades, eg Plumber, bricklayer, electrician, plasterer, surveyor, gas/heating engineer, air con engineer etc etc.

HCA roles are only going to be any good if you need no childcare. The pay will mean you are working for v little otherwise.

Look at free courses on futurelearn and also v cheap ones on groupon for t- as. Well as Microsoft/ google

HGV driving is quick and cheap to train in and has a steady stream of agency work to fit around family, though the money is preety crap (£13ish an hour seems to be the going rate around here).

If you used to enjoy HR , and are able to do a year study, then why not look into a refresher/update for that? You could compete a related degree alongside working in the right career. Also HR work can be done freelance later on.

It's be good to build on/use skills you already have? But also, you could be working many years so best to find something that you're very interested in.

Unless a care career is a passion of yours, HCA isnt well paid, has tough hours & few promotion opportunities.

Maybe check out school admin roles if you want to fit around children. How are your admin skills? As there are agencies that place medical /clinic secretaries and they are always in demand.
