Before enrolling in the Skills Bootcamp, Meaza was unemployed and faced challenges finding suitable work due to the flexibility required for caring for her children. Juggling parenting responsibilities and finding a job that could accommodate her schedule proved to be a significant challenge.

Meaza decided to enrol in the Skills Bootcamp course offered by Pathway SkillsZone Green Man due to its time flexibility and friendly approach. Pathway provided the support and encouragement she needed to pursue a career in the care sector. Recognising the challenges faced by single parents, Pathway SkillsZone offered a programme that catered to Meaza’s needs and allowed her to gain valuable skills and knowledge.
