*Michael has a terminal illness. He felt he had something to offer the workforce and really wanted to find an employer who would consider him. After using traditional methods of job search he was demotivated by the lack of response and came to us for help.
He attended a 3 week course with our Tutor who decided to anonymously advertise on Linked-in to over 3000 individuals and organisations in Central Bedfordshire. Micheal was successfully matched to an employer who valued his skills and contributions and is now very happy working in a full time job.
*Phillip had not worked for over 30 years. Due to a very low self-esteem and confidence was unable to leave his house during this time and was terrified about joining a course or looking for work. His fears were largely focussed on the way he looked was worried about people making unkind comments about his appearance.
He worked with our tutor over a period of 3 weeks, during which time his confidence and mindset became more optimistic. Empathy, positive reinforcement and a relaxed, welcoming learning environment encouraged Phillip to open up to a new way of thinking about himself.
As the result Phillip was noted by the Job Centre to have transformed into a much more confident individual who is now ready to consider applying for work.
*John was unemployed for over 5 years when he joined us on a course to improve his confidence to find work. He lacked recent experience and knowledge of how to use IT to effectively find work and needed a CV. During his time with us he grew confidence to create a CV, use Twitter and online job search websites.
However, it became evident that he was struggling with references at application stage.
We offered him a part-time paid role cleaning our offices which provided him with a professional reference and recent work experience. As the result less than one month later had been successful in gaining many interviews and recieved a job offer. He still cleans for us part-time evenings and is very much one of the team.
