One Community, Local Connections 

It was fantastic to meet so many of our global community at our Career Returners Community Week: The Big Meetup 2025 between 12-16 May. It was the highlight of our year so far!

It was very rewarding to receive such amazing feedback from our attendees. These are some of the comments :

“I learnt a lot, met some wonderful people and realised I wasn’t the only person facing these challenges. I’ve been encouraging others and taking feedback from them. I’ve come out a better person and much more confident.”

“This event has been incredibly helpful – I am heading home to apply for roles! It took coming to the meetup to truly realise how many transferable skills I have and just how valuable my experience is.”

“The panel talk … sharing their career journeys left many of us deeply moved. Stories of courage, pivots, and persistence, told not to impress, but to empower. It was humbling to just listen. Grateful for the conversations, the energy in the room, and the quiet motivation that follows you home.”

“It took coming to The Big Meet up to truly realise how many transferable skills I have and just how valuable my experience still is in a professional setting.”

”I feel really inspired and motivated! Thank you for hosting today. I feel so positive!”
