Works4U: New role secured for Marcia

Works4U is an employment support programme designed to provide residents in the West Midlands with opportunities to upskill, overcome personal challenges, move into work, and gain qualifications.

The programme provides wrap-around support to help you find the right opportunity, while breaking down any barriers that could be holding you back from finding work.

One participant who recently completed the programme is Marcia from Wolverhampton.

Marcia's Story

Marcia arrived on our Works4U programme in Wolverhampton after struggling with her self-confidence when it came to searching for a new job.

With the support of both her tutor and keyworker, we were able to identify the barriers she had to finding employment and worked with Marcia to address these.

Marcia reflected on the support she’d received, as well as looking back at how her keyworker had helped her throughout her time with us.

The programme really helped me to focus on my challenges and the areas where I was less confident. I have definitely seen an improvement in my self-esteem since.

I really enjoyed meeting and getting to know the team and the other learners. They really helped to guide me in the right direction after a challenging time in my life.

I feel overwhelmed with the help, assistance and encouragement I have received from the programme.

Putting Her Best Foot Forward

Marcia also spoke about the wrap-round support she received from her keyworker on the programme, and how she learnt to focus on her strengths when applying and interviewing for jobs in the future.

I learnt a lot more about myself and the skills that I have, as well as how I can project these in an interview situation and being told that I can move forward and get a job.

New Job Secured

Not only did Marcia receive wrap-around support from her keyworker to improve her interview skills and confidence, but she also landed a new full-time role in her local area on completion of the Works4U programme.

I have improved my motivational skills, communication skills and my confidence. I have also managed to secure a new job through B2W with the help of my key worker, Mohammed Ali.

Congratulations Marcia! We wish you all the very best in your new role!
