A success story

Rafia’s success story.

Get Set for Rafia’s journey to boosting his confidence and improving his numeracy skills.

Multiply | 07 January 2025

When Rafia was referred to the Restart Scheme at our Crawley office, he had been unemployed for eight months and faced a significant challenge: he had never applied for jobs or worked in the UK before. Despite his background as a tax advisor and experience in security, Rafia felt unsure of how to navigate the UK job market. Determined to improve his prospects and basic numeracy skills he was enrolled on to our Multiply programme.

Rafia’s Get Set UK Employment Advisor, and Multiply Trainer, Sharon Marie Brown quickly identified his potential and areas for development and together they worked on improving his confidence and boosting his employability with a high-impact CV, job networking sessions that introduced him to potential employers and tailoring his learning to suit his needs.

These actions empowered Rafia to apply for positions he once felt were beyond his reach. His efforts paid off, and Rafia is now gaining invaluable experience as a delivery driver while eagerly awaiting feedback from Tesco for a shop assistant role.

Sharon Brown, commented: “It was a pleasure teaching Rafia. His enthusiasm to embrace this opportunity in enrolling and completing the Multiply programme is a great example for other clients on the Restart programme.”
