 OLIVIA

After struggling with her mental and physical health from a very young age Olivia ultimately left school early in order to focus on getting better. Because of this Olivia was unsure of which direction to go in terms of a career. She didn't feel confident academically but she felt inspired by the NHS staff who treated her mum when she was unwell. She just so happened to see an advert for a Prince’s Trust course, run in partnership with NHS Scotland and Dundee & Angus College to support young people to gain the skills and experience needed to work in the NHS, Olivia decided to apply.

The Prince’s Trust and NHS  have had a massive impact on my life -  as soon as I started the course,  I already saw a positive future for myself.”

 CHARLOTTE

Working at McDonald's wasn't Charlotte's dream, so she decided to change it. Being furloughed during the pandemic gave Charlotte a lot of free time to explore a different career path. She had always had an interest in tech but had little to no knowledge of what she needed to do to get a tech job and didn't know where to start. A course provided by The Prince's Trust helped her get her kickstart into the industry.

 “We also did a lot of employability sessions  on the course about confidence,  practice interviews and how to set up a  LinkedIn account.  Those were just as valuable as the tech skills.”
