Learners from our Second Chance Works programme for offenders on behalf of Walsall JCP and DWP, the 3rd week of a 4 week programme.
Fantastic progress, as the guys attended a job fair where they can apply their new skills and speak to employers about potential roles and how they can fulfil them.
Sarah, our tutor, was very pleased to see they did so well, approaching employers and selling themselves with newly acquired confidence and purpose โ a massive hurdle for them to overcome due to their barriers and preconceived bias.

The session was supported by several of the farm cats who helped assess the practical.
This was a goodwill gesture from FST as a thank you for supporting people who face barriers in such an inclusive manner.
