Olivia’s Story

Olivia initially signed up to Talent Match which offers individually tailored mentor support for the most vulnerable young people aged 15-29.

Before joining the Talent Match programme, Olivia was bored with life, depressed, had low self-esteem and wasn’t motivated to do anything. She was referred to the job centre and liked the sound of the support available. Since joining the programme, Olivia has met new people and now feels more motivated and confident. She is now focused on improving her health and getting fit and looking for work.

As a result of Talent Match, Olivia benefited hugely from the support and mentoring she received and now feels motivated to progress with her life and is completing an online English and Maths course.

Olivia’s career goal is to work with children, preferably in a supporting role such as a Support Worker – Olivia is hoping to do an apprenticeship to help achieve this goal.
