How did your course go?

I went to school at Olchfa Comprehensive where I gained two GCSE’s in Maths and D&T resistant materials. I stayed on in school to attend sixth form and achieved NVQ’s in Business and Leisure and Tourism.

I was referred to the CADCentre by Swansea Careers. When I arrived I lacked confidence and motivation and it took a while to settle into the centre. After a few weeks of studying and help from the staff at the CADCentre, I started to show more confidence and concentrated on my work.

When it was time for me to attend work experience I was reluctant to leave the training centre to travel to my work placement at IT Asset Disposal.

After a week at IT Asset Disposal they said that I showed significant signs of improvement with my motivation and that I was enjoying the placement and also The CADCentre was getting excellent feedback from them. When I completed my work experience I came back to the centre with more confidence and my motivational issues had improved dramatically.

Since leaving the CADCentre I have been employed by IT Asset Disposal as a part time technician and I am enjoying my new found career. I am hoping to be employed full time after my short probationary period.

“Matthew lacked motivation, confidence and was hesitant about going on work experience placement, but after a bit a preparation and support from the staff at the CADCentre Matthew gained confidence and attended a work placement with IT Asset Disposal. After a short period on placement Matthew’s attitude changed and he became motivated and confident. Shortly after finishing his NVQ Matthew was employed with IT Asset Disposal”.
