Emily’s Story

“I was shy and nervous when I started my training but the Job Coaches were great teachers. I learnt lots of new skills, became more confident, and my speech improved.

“At the end of my training, I started an internship at the Flourish Café in Air NZ. I loved working there and I loved getting paid. Everyone knew my name and I enjoyed taking orders and talking to people. I became more independent. I caught the bus to work and was always on time.

“I love working, and having a job gives me a sense of purpose. I want to keep working so that one day I can buy my own house. Thank you to Project Employ for believing in me.”
