Matthias’s success story.

Matthias Millard, aged 35, has a mild learning disability and joined the Get Set for Work programme as he wanted support to build his confidence and find some work experience.

Laura Clarke, Get Set for Work Employer Consultant, worked with Matthias to understand the challenges he was facing and created a personalised career development plan that would enable him to build his confidence and a training plan which covered computer literacy, email etiquette and respectful interactions, time management, teamwork and how to act professionally in the workplace.

To help prepare Matthias for working life, Laura conducted mock interviews, reviewed his CV and supported him with a job search strategy which helped Mattias secure a voluntary position at a dementia café where he gained practical experience and engaged with the local community.

“Matthias has grown in confidence and managed to build great skills and knowledge within the working world. He completed our 12-week programme and has been reliable and trustworthy throughout. I am very proud of Matthias and how well he is doing for his wellbeing and career progression.”
