Case Study
“I had reached a point where I wasn’t sure what to do with my life and wasn’t sure where to turn next. I was recommended the Stride programme by a friend and whilst I wasn’t sure at first, the support from the teachers really helped me to start to make positive decisions about my future. The taster sessions were brilliant and gave me the opportunity to try out different courses. I’m now looking forward to starting a new course in September and can’t wait to see what comes next!”
