Show Notes

Following on from James and Krissi sharing their lived experience of overcoming barriers to education and employment last week, Professional Careers Consultant Emma Francis joins us to give her expert advice on what you can be doing right now that will stand you in good stead for the future.

Emma is the Trust’s parent Trustee, and her daughter has been supported by the Trust, so she has specific insight about the barriers a cancer diagnosis throws up for young people. She offers in-depth and eye-opening tips that are manageable even when times are hard, and reassures that no matter what anxieties you may have about your career right now, things will be okay.
