Collette realises her own potential
Springboard Cheshire is led by Torus Foundation and is funded by the European Social Fund (ESF), Torus Foundation and Springboard Cheshire delivery and strategic partners.
Collette, from Warrington, was lacking in confidence in her own abilities when she signed up to Springboard.
Working with her Springboard employment advisor, Liz at Warrington Disability Partnership, she developed a CV that showed off her qualifications and skills. Liz coached Collette in resilience, and Colette worked hard to build confidence in her abilities.
With Liz’s support, Collette completed some job applications and sent her CV to a number of contacts and agencies, including Sarah, Springboard’s Employer Engagement Coordinator.
Collette’s hard work paid off as she was offered three different jobs and is starting as a HR assistant with The Health Family (North West). She is also studying for a CIPD Level 5 course at Warrington and Vale Royal College.
Collette says:
“The Springboard programme was good for me, as it was fast-paced and I was supported in lots of ways, not just with job searching. Liz listened to me and helped me realise that I was good enough and I could do this!”
We are very proud of what Collette has achieved. Congratulations on your new job and good luck for the future!
