When Kim signed up to the Multiply programme in May she had been off work for a number of months due to stress and depression. At one point she had even felt low enough to try and take her own life. The time off allowed her to re-assess the direction she wanted to take her life in and she decided to start her own business doing painting and decorating.
She had heard about ANTA’s CSCS card course through her work coach and decided to enrol. Having a CSCS card would open her up to many more opportunities for work on construction sites that she was previously unable to do.
Of the course itself, Kim said “The course was in a relaxed environment and the tutor was really easy going. The course really helped me focus and get my head back in the game.”
As Kim also has an NVQ in painting and decorating we are also supporting her to upgrade her green labourers CSCS card to get a blue skilled worker card and therefore increasing her work opportunities further!
We wish you every success for the future Kim!
