The Women's Work Lab Bath 2025

The Women's Work Lab is opening applications for the April 2025 Bath programme this week, supporting unemployed mums to become work ready and are thrilled to be offering more opportunities this year. 

The bespoke classroom training and work placements focus on building confidence, ambition and employability skills. They specialise in unlocking potential and laying the foundations for a brighter future.

Outcomes for participants include new careers, positive role modelling for their families and communities and the creation of a vital support network.

Applications are open now and they would love to hear from any women who you are connected with that you think would be a good fit. They are keen to reach out to as many community groups as possible to hear from women who may be interested in taking part. Typically they work with mums who have experienced barriers to work such as lone parenting, domestic abuse, poor mental health or children with additional needs.

There is plenty of information on the website. They will be following a shortlisting process for all applications which will then be followed up with an informal interview before formally offering places on the programme.
