Future Finders Blog – 20.1.23

Hello! And welcome to a brief Future Finders blog!

We are extremely proud of the students who have braved the elements to arrive on time with a positive and enthusiastic attitude to both college work and placements.

The week has been a busy week consisting of placements, gathering employer feedback, alongside continuously building relationships with new and existing placement providers.

A huge positive I would like to start with, we are delighted to say that we have gained a new exciting placement opportunity with Nando’s in Oldham! Nando’s are extremely keen to boost inclusivity within the Oldham area, offering meaningful opportunities to gain a better understanding within the busy world of catering.

I really feel this will be an amazing opportunity and we look forward to working with Nando’s in the future.

Maria our placement co-ordinator has been active receiving employer feedback to which this has been positive and for any of our current placement providers, if you have not heard from her, she will be in touch very soon.

I would like to share with you a small insight into some of the feedback we have already received…

The Range – ‘’Jake is hardworking, came in and supported us when he did not need to do, He is eager to learn, and nothing has been too much trouble for him. The support he receives is perfect’.’

Brewers Fayre – ‘’Tyler is outstanding and will do anything he is asked to do. He picks things up extremely fast and keeps on top of his work.”

Curry’s – ‘’Pete is an excellent asset, everything that is asked he completes with no issues, He shows a genuine interest and completes the tasks to the best of his ability we are extremely impressed. The job coaches are supportive too!’’

It is fantastic to see the impact our students are having on various workforces across Oldham.

Lastly, I would like to say a huge thank you to all the parents and carers who have been encouraging our young adults to use the reading plus app to improve English skills. Here is our weekly leader board adding a little competition

Have an amazing weekend!
