Having the ability to reflect and recognise what transferable skills you have, and having the opportunity to identify areas of strengths and weaknesses is valuable. This process will be useful if you have left school with little or no formal qualifications, or are looking to return to work after coming into contact with the criminal justice system.

Recognising transferable skills, strengths and potential weaknesses can aid the process in supporting a transition into training, further education or work or to simply to raise confidence and self-esteem and in making a plan for the future.
