Finding employment and funding for training has been a challenge. I know what direction I want to move in but the support is not always available. I've done my best to find a job but it's not enough for me to support myself in independent accommodation and pay for the courses I want to do. I'm currently staying at my family home but I can not stay here forever and need to move out soon.
I've recently been working as an events steward to build up some money, while I've enjoyed the experience and the keeping busy, this is not the role I see myself in long-term. I want to move into construction and start building myself a career in the industry.
Thankfully, the jobcentre has helped me get started with a CSCS course which will allow me to work on a construction site. However, I want to take up some more training so I can progress further in my career. Once I've finished my CSCS training I will be starting my construction site Traffic Marshall course.
