Trainees on previous courses said:

“The work placement was really beneficial as it gave me real life experience working as part of a team. My peers gave me direction and were always at hand if I needed help and assistance but also allowed me to use my own initiative. Having completed the placement at Jobchange, I now know that an administration role is definitely my choice for future employment. I continue to work for Jobchange on a voluntary basis with the possibility of future employment.”
