I have many friends who took a career break to raise their children and/or care for elderly parents.  Many express concern about re-entering the workforce as far as their attractiveness as candidates or in meeting new demands in the skills and experience required to be seen as qualified.  The idea of "returnships" as described in this recent article in Stylist is a brilliant idea to transition and gain experience and confidence.
