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.

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.
