Before coming to Support 4 Employment, I wasn’t too sure what I wanted to do or how I was going to get into a job. I knew I liked working with my hands, but I didn’t have the confidence or experience to take that next step.
Being part of S4E helped me build my confidence and learn real skills that I could use in the workplace. The support from the team made a big difference — they helped me stay motivated, try new things, and figure out what I was actually good at.
Over time, I realised I enjoyed practical work, especially in areas like mechanics and butchery. I got the chance to build those skills and prepare myself for real job opportunities.
Now I’ve successfully moved into employment working in those areas, and it feels good to be doing something I enjoy and getting paid for it. I’ve become more independent and more confident in myself.
I’m really proud of how far I’ve come, and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the support and opportunities I had at S4E.
