I
am glad I went on the course and I really enjoyed it.
The course gave me confidence to meet new people and helped
me get a job. (She has started a job with ‘Drive'
as a Full time employee on the 21/03/03).

I
thoroughly enjoyed the course and made a lot of new friends.
I feel more focused on achieving my goal, which is
to get employment. I have not worked for 5 years
and felt my confidence had hit rock bottom. I now
feel I am ready to resume part time employment initially
and then progress to full time. (He is going to liaise
with the Aberdare Programme Centre to use their facilities
for Job Search and he would like to do a work placement
when one becomes available).

I
enjoyed the course and wish it could have gone on for longer.
It has given me more confidence and has changed my
attitude and the way I look at things. (She has registered
at the Aberdare Programme Centre and is going to College
in September to study High Tech Skills on a full time course).
Client

It
helped me to look at situations in a positive way, where
as before I tended to look at it more negatively.
Now when I get set backs I am trying to learn that it is
only a set back and I can continue. I feel it has
helped me gain more confidence at the way I view things.
(She's been referred to WBLA and is hoping for a
Job placement. She is going to continue with her
Clait studies).

I
have really enjoyed the course and found it a real benefit
and confidence booster and enjoyed meeting everyone there.
I am now trying to put what I learnt into practice
and change the way I think and be more positive.
(She will use the resources at the Aberdare Programme Centre
and an appointment has been made with a lone parent advisor).

I
have enjoyed the course and I am eager to progress further
with my studies. I believe my confidence has grown
during the last 6 weeks and would like to stay positive.
(She is starting a part time job in ‘Cwmdare Welsh
Primary' after school club and is also working Voluntary
on a Tue/Thur morning in a crčche in a church. She
will attend an Open day with Aberdare College to speak to
a representative about doing office skills and will also
liaise with the Aberdare Programme Centre to continue Job
Search.

I
enjoyed the course and it has helped with my confidence.
I also stop and think more now instead of shouting.
I have also made friends and gained more confidence
with other people. (She has registered with the Aberdare
Programme centre to use their job search facilities).

Being
on the course has given me focus and helped me back into
a routine and also enabled me to see that I am not the only
one with problems and can get around them. (She is
attending the Aberdare Programme Centre on a regular basis
and has attended several job interviews).

live in relative luxury compared to before going on the
Steps to excellence course, i have continued to use the
self help techniuqes that i learnt and i enjoy going to

ihave lost all my fat that i had i have been toning up as
