The support helped me recognise the skills I had gained from my part-time job and see how they could transfer into an apprenticeship. It gave me more confidence in what I could offer an employer.
I had stopped looking for apprenticeships for a while, but the support helped rebuild my confidence. I felt clearer about the apprenticeship route and ready to start looking for opportunities again – Not In Education, Emplyment
