On the right course
Anamaria Busic enrolled on to one of Ealing adult learning ’ s employability workshops after losing her job because of COVID- 19 ’ s impact on the business . It helped her apply for , and find , new work opportunities . She said : “ I lost my job due to the pandemic , after being furloughed for a number of months . At the time my confidence in my skills and qualifications was very low , so much so that I was doubting whether I was employable at all . I felt I needed all the help I could get . “ The workshop has made a big difference to me as I got plenty of reassurance that , with my skills and experience , I would be employable . It helped me a lot with identifying what kind of job I could do over the next two years and actually succeed at getting it .” Find out more about Ealing adult learning courses at ealingworkwest . com
