Student Blog Hi, I’m Danny. I recently completed the Work Ready You programme at Weston College, which helped me achieve three qualifications and secure a job at the College as a Learning Support Assistant! I decided to join the pre-employment course after being out of work for some time. I wanted to rebuild my confidence and improve my chances of finding meaningful employment. The course offered exactly that - support, structure, and direction. Over five weeks, we explored different types of jobs, learned how to tailor our CVs, improved our communication skills, and worked on team projects, including giving presentations. The final week included a work placement, with some students visiting local businesses like Cineworld and Puxton Park. Throughout the course, my confidence and ability to work in a team really grew. I also had the support of a keyworker from the Moving Up team, who stayed in touch even after the course ended. Most importantly, my tutor, Juliette Weaver, was a huge source of encouragement—always kind, energetic, and supportive. Shortly after completing the course, I was offered a role at Weston College through Forward Futures. Juliette’s recommendation gave me the push I needed, and the transition into work was smoother than I imagined. One of my proudest moments was winning Pre-Employment Student of the Year at the College’s Celebration of Success awards. It was amazing to have my efforts recognised. I’m so thankful to everyone at Weston College - especially Juliette - for helping me rediscover my potential. This course truly made a lasting difference in my life.
