We are pleased to say that our efforts have kept our clients safe at work, prevented many from being made redundant and even helped some to gain employment where they had none before. In total only 10% of clients lost their jobs during this time and we have already supported over half of these back into employment.
One of these clients was Jakub (pictured on the right) who has autistic spectrum condition. We supported him through an accountancy apprenticeship with a major employer in Reading, which he successfully completed. Sadly, just as the pandemic hit it became clear that he would not be offered the expected permanent role at the end of his apprenticeship. We knew Jakub’s strengths really well and worked hard with a local accountancy firm to help him get an accounting role working from home.
