The scheme changed my life, made me more confident and I learned so many skills. At the end of the course they gave me a four-week paid work placement as an administration assistant. They really liked me so they kept me on for another three weeks. I told them I wanted to help other young people that are in the situation I was in, and they gave me a new contract as an outreach worker.
Job Ready worked for me because the tutors gave me time, explained things as many times as I needed, and in a relaxed environment, different from school.
