We asked Masi, one of our graduates, how Real Hope’s training and work placements have helped build her confidence.
“It’s really helped me improve my communication skills and feel more comfortable talking to customers and colleagues. I’ve become more confident and learned how to connect with people. And making my first latte all by myself felt life-changing. I remember thinking, ‘I can make a latte! I can do it!’”
Many of our trainees start their journey with us unsure of how to achieve their goals. Through practical training, real-life work placements and job hunting support, we help them build confidence, develop new skills and discover what they’re capable of.
And Masi is a fantastic example of what’s possible! 🎉 She’s now taking on paid work at cafe 17, her original placement café, as well as working at Sesame, a busy salad bar and café in Leeds city centre.
We’re so proud of how far she’s come. ❤️
