Check out what our young people have to say about the programme.
Get Ready Work Ready helped me find out who I am, where I come from. That’s a big thing for me because I didn’t know who I was – just living on the streets you know, bad seed. When I came to this course it was everything – I found out who I was, I found out what I wanted to do, what I wanted to pursue and I’ve got lots of people behind me for this.”
I feel like I have the motivation, the will and the determination now to go to university, and I really want to study law.
It’s not just about work education but life in general, learning about money, learning about saving – stuff that we’re not really taught in school.”
This is the first time in a long time that I’ve gotten out of the house without getting in trouble. Making a lot of new friends is another big thing for me – obviously I have a lot of self-doubt but this course is the one.”
