After being made unemployed earlier this year, Nicola signed up with Invest in Renfrewshire. On top of being a busy mother and wife, Nicola had also recently become a Kinship carer.
Nicola received support to apply for a variety of jobs and recently accepted an Assistant Advisor role with Advice Works.
“I had constant support. My advisor & trainer helped me build my confidence and remind me of my full potential, he was always available for questions, provided me with access to various training courses.
I am now confident, about to start my new job that works around my kid’s needs, I didn’t ever think I could have that balance as a parent, but you can.”
