Kickstart is a weekly meet-up for graduates of Jobcare’s Jobseekers Course and Jobnet Programme who wish to remain motivated and focused in their job search. Kickstart is for people who are willing to confront their personal barriers to finding work, are determined to overcome these barriers, and are willing to accept the support and encouragement of their fellow participants and coaches.
