“During lockdown, Itec and my tutor have given me such good support to help with the stress caused by my home situation and my mental health. They have been amazing in helping me cope during lockdown, I owe them a lot”
“When I was 16, I also took part in a similar programme, so I know firsthand the benefits of trying different industries to see which suits you the most. I think that JGW+ is a great option for learners who are unsure of what path to take. It enables people to identify their strengths for job satisfaction.”
