Growing confidence with training and work experience partnerships

Mathew finds the community partnerships and training help support his aspirations to find employment doing something he enjoys.

I’ve been coming to the Hounslow community activities on a regular basis for a good few years now. I join the art group, the community allotment, and lots of other activities and courses. I’ve met lots of lovely people here.

Last year I came to a workshop on positive relationships. We were practising giving compliments to each other and that’s how I met Lisa. I said “you’ve got a nice jumper Lisa” and she said “thank you so much”. We started talking and now, here we are. 

I’ve had training and work experience with Hounslow Council and I’m hoping to get on an apprenticeship. I’ve always been into IT - I’m a smart guy - and now I’m a Digital Champion. I’m looking forward to getting an IT job.

Coming here has definitely helped me feel more confident.

I like that I’m supported to choose the things I do, like going out with friends, riding on a dirt bike, doing a bit of golf, chilling with my mum at her house, or going to the trampoline park. My favourite thing is gaming or dancing on TikTok.
