Opening doors for young talent in Solihull
Abi Charles is the first young person supported into work through the Youth Trailblazer programme.
She said: “I didn’t have much work experience, so finding a job was quite difficult. The Employment and Skills Team made everything really easy and smooth. They prepared me for the job interview, which definitely helped with my confidence.”
Abi now works as a hotel receptionist at the Barn Hotel, part of The Barn at Berryfields.
Find out more about how the programme helped Abi find a job in hospitality.
