Young people face higher levels of unemployment than the UK average, worsening poverty, damaging mental health and increasing the risk of being drawn into dangerous gang situations. Through our Life Chances campaign, we’re helping young people to secure qualifications and employment.
Read about Muhammed’s success story!
Muhammed Alam had been applying for jobs in software development but receiving rejections. His Job Centre Work Coach referred him to Circle Collective who offer work experience in their retail outlets.
‘I was terrified to enrol because of interacting with new people. But I’m glad I did. There was a mix of work experience, workshops, career fairs, and corporate insight days. I first started on their shop floor, then as an IT support, and then as an admin support. I visited Sage and NHS offices, where employees gave us insight into what it’s like to work there, how to improve our chances with job applications. I had a mock interview with a manager who gave me helpful feedback. I am now working as a Junior Software Developer for Loathe and I am excited to start my career journey.”
