Unlock Your Potential
From Caregiver to Career Rebuilder
Linda’s story is one of resilience, courage, and determination. After spending years as a carer for her partner while balancing work, she faced a challenging chapter when her partner sadly passed away. With her world turned upside down, Linda not only had to navigate her grief but also her financial situation and the challenge of re-entering the workforce after a break.
'wealth of life experience'
Unsure of where to start, Linda turned to Pathway Group for support. With a wealth of life experience and a solid administrative background, she knew she had valuable skills but needed help refining her CV, job searching, and rebuilding her confidence.
During the first phase of her journey, Linda received one-on-one support and took online courses to refresh her skills in programs like Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.
Determined to stay active and support herself financially, Linda set her sights on finding a job to keep her busy while pursuing further qualifications. She applied for a position with Walsall Council and successfully secured a role as a Cleaner. In addition to her new job, Linda is completing a Customer Service qualification with support from Sam, her Vocational Tutor at Pathway Group.
Despite initially feeling that she might be ‘too old’ to start again, Linda has proved to herself and others that age is no barrier to success. She’s shown that with the proper support and determination, anyone can rebuild their career, no matter their challenges.
