Rodger says:
“Doing a FET course boosted my self-confidence and gave me a feeling of self-worth.”
We caught up with Rodger recently to see how he was getting on since we were last in contact. Rodger shared with us some of the positive milestones that have brought him to this point:
“I gained confidence from going back to education so now I don’t worry about being employed or unemployed any more. At the moment I am doing small education modules through my new employer.”
Rodger has achieved his hopes from 2016 and is currently employed with a community group and is still learning. Rodger completed a Training Needs Analysis & Design (Train the Trainer) course and achieved a distinction in March 2017.
Finally, as a note of encouragement from Rodger, he shared with us what further education and training meant to him:
“It proves to me that age is not a barrier and you can continue to be educated and grow one’s life.”
We hope that sharing Rodger’s progressive and positive experience in further education and training will encourage others to explore their own learning options.
