Bethany Jenkinson took part in our Traineeship service in West Wales, a programme for young people aged 16-19 pick up the skills and knowledge they need to get a job or progress into other learning opportunities.
Sally registered with Restart at the end of March 2022. She had been working at home as a self employed audio typist on a part-time basis for the past three years but was struggling on a very minimal income. Sally had become quite isolated and felt that the best option would be to obtain work outside her home where she could build relationships with colleagues, obtain a regular income, and broaden her skills and her outlook.
When I started at PeoplePlus I was at an all-time low, my mood was at rock bottom, and I didn't care what I was doing. The past couple of years would have to be up there with the most distressing times of my life both physically and especially mentally.
The first partnership of its kind in the UK - has been launched to boost prisoner confidence and encourage more learners to engage with education services.
Today the Restart team in Swansea welcomed partners and various organisations from across Swansea to their open day. The event was well attended with over 50 guests who came to listen to guest speakers and sample taster training sessions.
