Video: Interview with Catherine about the progress she has made

Catherine joined our vocational training programme in 2017. The first 6-12 months includes classes on numeracy & literacy, personal & business finance management and developing some of the softer skills, including confidence in navigating work based opportunities and relationships.

Alongside this, Catherine also attended our vocational training in hairdressing through the year. This is an opportunity to not only learn a new skill but also to put into practice some of the finance management and communications skills they have been learning.

After this period, she decided to pursue a Diploma in Nursery Teaching, which she is hoping to complete this year, after Covid delayed her final exams.
