When one of our clients joined BOOST, they brought a wealth of knowledge and experience, including multiple Master's degrees and a strong background in marketing, project management, customer engagement, and business intelligence. Despite these impressive qualifications, they faced challenges navigating the UK job market and securing the right opportunity.

Through tailored one-to-one support, BOOST helped with CV development, job applications, interview preparation, and career guidance. With growing confidence and a clearer understanding of the recruitment process, they began applying for roles that matched their skills and ambitions.

We're delighted to share that they have now secured employment as a 50+ Employment Adviser with BOOST, where they will be supporting others on their own employment journeys and helping residents overcome barriers to work.

This fantastic achievement shows how the right support, combined with determination and talent, can lead to meaningful employment and the opportunity to make a real difference in the community.

One of our clients first came to BOOST looking for support with taking the next step in their career and successfully secured a construction apprenticeship. While the opportunity provided valuable experience, they soon realised that construction wasn't the right fit for them.

Rather than giving up, they returned to BOOST to explore new options and identify a career path that better matched their interests. With a passion for hospitality and a desire to build a long-term career in the industry, they were keen to find opportunities that would help them get started.

Thanks to their openness, determination, and willingness to explore different pathways, they have now secured a place on a specialist training programme linked to five-star hotels in London. The programme will provide valuable industry skills and includes a 90% guaranteed interview opportunity.

We're delighted to see them taking this exciting next step and wish them every success as they begin their journey into the hospitality industry
