It may be that you are looking for work after having lost your job during the pandemic. You may decide that you want to go down a different career path to the one that you had before and this may mean that you need to return to education in order to gain a qualification or do additional training. At present there are many opportunities to get help and funding with this if it is something that you would like to do.
