Josh's story
"Despite having three A-Levels I was finding it hard to get work. Waterloo Job Shop helped
me get work placements to build up my experience, and worked with me to improve my job applications. Now I get the interviews I'm after and I’m confident I’ll be in work soon."- Josh Carter-White, client at Waterloo Job Shop.
