A young person's journey to a positive destination in employment

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, support sessions were carried out remotely. They showed incredible resilience and flexibility and has adjusted well to an extremely difficult situation making it even harder as a young person looking for employment. Through the support they were given as part of the Young Person's Guarantee they mastered their interview skills as well as ICT skills and formal communication style (i.e. email correspondence). They created a very good CV, cover letter and speculative letters to send to local employers.

The young person had a clear idea of working with children and they made decision to target nurseries first. They are exceptionally motivated and determined. Their hard work paid off and they secured employment in November 2020 as a Modern Apprentice at local nursery. Since then they have been building their skills and is receiving great feedback from their employer.
