Joe’s success story.

Personalised support to build skills and confidence.

Through tailored one-to-one sessions, Mia Furner, Get Set for Work Employee Consultant, worked closely with Joe to develop his employability skills and prepare him for the world of work. Together, they:

✅ Built Joe’s first CV, highlighting his strengths, interests, and potential.

✅ Identified and applied for voluntary opportunities to help him gain practical experience.

✅ Developed his confidence and communication skills by guiding him through the application process.

✅ Began career mapping activities to explore realistic pathways into the gaming industry.

Joe fully embraced the support offered by Mia, recognising the value of gaining experience before pursuing his dream role. His enthusiasm and openness to new opportunities reflected a genuine commitment to changing his future for the better

A new start at the British Heart Foundation.

Within just a few weeks, Joe successfully secured a voluntary role at the British Heart Foundation, where he is now thriving. He quickly settled in, completed his online training with minimal support, and has enjoyed meeting new people through his work. His new role not only gives him valuable experience but has also boosted his self-esteem and motivation.

Joe is continuing to work with Mia, where they will be career mapping, holding interview prep and  job searching sessions, and building an understanding of reasonable adjustments to ensure he is fully prepared for the next steps in his career journey.
