“I started working at Platform’s Help Centre in Malvern a year ago, helping people with IT basics as a Digital Champion. I’ve never done paid work before, only work experience, so the opportunity to interact with so many people on a regular basis really helped my confidence and the experience inspired me to look harder for paid work. Catering is my passion and I’m delighted to say that I have now secured my first ever paid employment as a relief catering assistant. I started my training this week and I love it!"
