OBJECTIVES ACTIVITIES

To coach, empower and create awareness about Job opportunities in the Public & Private sector for the under represented groups.

To support vulnerable women especially those who have been victims of domestic violence to restore their confidence and self-esteem and support them to re-integrate into society.

To create opportunity, support and build aspirations for social mobility - progress and promotion.

To provide "One-on-One" and group Soft Skills coaching to the young and vulnerable within the community in order to build their self-esteem and confidence.

To support, provide information and guidance about various recruitment options and career paths.

We have always had a passion for making a difference within the community. During the pandemic, it became obvious that under represented groups were more adversely affected in the area of employment. There were redundancies, furloughs & reduction in hours.

Having had the opportunity to sit on numerous interview panels and reviewed many applications we have identified challenges faced by applicants when applying for employment. We decided to use our extensive expertise to “serve” our community and this was the birth of Suscito Ltd. A body to create awareness, empower, equip & support applicants via:

  1. Seminars: Providing seminars that give clarity and guidance on how to apply for employment
  2. Coaching workshops: Providing regular coaching workshops that help applicants develop required confidence thereby helping to reduce stress and anxiety
  3. Community: Gaining access to the wider community (e.g. Facebook, Faith groups,  Social Media platforms & WhatsApp groups, etc.)
  4. Hand holding session: Access to customised one-on-one sessions crafted to meet individual needs
