“Now I am moving forward into the great big world… What I do know is I have learnt a lot over the years: becoming more independent, improving my maths and English for the exams, learning more from my work [placements] in My Acting Career and at Darent Valley Hospital, and much more.

Also, the one big thing I learned is “You Can’t be brave without being scared first”, so I thank you all, my Friends, my Family, teachers, and Job Coaches who have helped me along the way.”

“I wouldn't be where I am if I didn't have your support...”

“My time at F2E has taught and helped me in so many ways. It has taught me to believe that you can do anything if you put in the hard work.

In my first year, my placement was at All Saints Primary School, which I loved, and I gained more confidence in meeting new people and in childcare experience. In my second year, my placement was at Brompton Army Barracks, where I gained employment at the end of the year. I met some amazing people and gained experience in retail, which I enjoy. I have gained a BTEC, maths and English qualifications, and a first-aid certificate.

I want to say a massive thank you to everyone at Forward2Employment… I wouldn’t be where I am if I didn’t have your support. I can’t forget my two Job Coaches: Helen, who was my Job Coach for the first year, and Kayleigh, who was my Job Coach for the second year. You both were amazing.”
