“I didn’t do well at school, I never wanted to be in class, didn’t want a job and later in life I didn’t really want to be around anymore. I went to the Brighton Job Centre and they told me about the Spear Programme. I have learnt how to be more resilient, I’ve picked up key tips for interviews and realise that I can work in teams – it was just a choice I had to make. The past six weeks taught me that nothing should stop you… the next step is to get into work.”
