What do people think of the programme?
Talkback has helped me by giving me regular 1-1 sessions and increasing my confidence. My job coach gave me the support and confidence to complete my Food Hygiene Certificate.
Since meeting on a regular basis with my job coach, my confidence has increased, I am now more sociable and motivated. Through the work placement that my job coach has helped me find, I have learnt lots of new skills and made new professional relationships with my colleagues.
Before I first met with my Job Coach I wasn’t sure if this is what I needed but I was very wrong, he has been great. He helped me improve my confidence, provided support in understanding my finances and has encouraged me to look to the future, creating realistic short and long term goals.
