We know that at the start of any career, or as you progress, there’s excitement, but also some nervousness.

As a CIPD member, you’ve already made an excellent career choice - the people profession is varied and opens up hundreds of opportunities. We want to make sure you have everything you need to find, and get, the right one for you.

Introducing the CIPD Career Support Toolkits

We’ve created the CIPD Career Support toolkits*, exclusively available to CIPD members, to help you overcome career challenges, including how to find a job in the people profession. 

Whether you’re only just starting out in your career, are transitioning from a different profession or need support with overcoming challenges at key career moments, these new toolkits will support you every step of the way.

Tailored, and specific to the people profession, the toolkits provide guidance and real-life examples so you can easily put what you’ve learned into practice, and get your career in HR off the ground. 

The toolkits are available 24/7 on the Learning Hub, so you can complete these any time you need them.
