Sam came into the store with their probation officer, very much feeling that there were no further options in terms of help and support in returning to work.
Sam had previous experience in Labouring and construction and wanted to explore this option further, they had a 1-2-1 session with National Careers Service to discuss skills and aspirations- from there Sam was referred to obtain a CSCS card from SECTA. Since successfully completing this, Sam has been supported into becoming self-employed.
