Putting Our Expertise to Work Mia’s* Story
Find out how our Connect to Work team supported Mia to find the job she wanted and access support to allow her to thrive.
Our Peer Support Workers provide a welcoming and open service for clients looking to improve their career prospects and mental wellbeing.
X was referred to peer support with goal of becoming a Software Developer. X worked with Peer Support to explore different roles, courses and apprenticeships to give him a better idea to the qualifications and skills that he needed to become a Software Developer.
On hold…
While X had the knowledge, unfortunately X didn’t have the qualifications, something he decided he wanted to work towards. X decided to start with English and Maths GCSEs and was supported by WWT to get funding for this.
Next steps…
X has since changed his career goal and decided that becoming an IT Technician would suit him a lot more. X was referred to one of the WWT Industry Experts and we both spoke to an IT Technician to give X some expert advice on this. X’s confidence is growing now that he has a clear long-term plan when it becomes to achieving his goals of becoming an IT Technician.
Quote from the client…
“The Peer Support has been a great help. Thanks to the weekly discussions I’m able to unload my concerns and get the needed help where possible. For example, I have got help in getting direction to further my studies and even a little financial support”
