Nate’s Story
This quickly became a daunting situation for Nate as he had very little experience living independently and had recently left school with no qualifications or prior work experience. YMCA staff provided Nate with one to one sessions, developing the skills he already possessed and helping with his confidence levels. Nate worked alongside a specialist worker on improving his CV and partook in mock interviews. As a result, Nate was offered a position this year with the company ‘Justice Prince’ and has told staff: “I’m really enjoying working and making my own money, I feel like I have a purpose.”
