MYSTORY Employment Assistance Programme Sees Incredible Transformation Among Young People
After 14 weeks of the MYSTORY Employment Assistance Programme, we’ve seen incredible growth and transformation among our young people. Many have gone on to secure sustainable employment, while others have chosen to pursue full-time study to further their skills, all while continuing their journey of job seeking and personal development.
Participants shared how the programme has supported them in practical and meaningful ways:
“This programme extended my knowledge and helped me to learn how to do more important things that I didn’t know before.”
“The programme helped me with my CV and Cover Letter, practising interviews, and taught us different ways to operate in the workplace.”
“It was a wake-up call for me to get ready to find and get a job. I built my confidence and met a lot of people.”
Key highlights of the programme included:
CV and Cover Letter support
Interview preparation
Time management and workplace etiquette
Motivation and confidence building
First Aid training and personal growth opportunities
Looking ahead, participants are now in employment, preparing for job applications, further courses, and even driver licensing, while others are inspired to continue building their leadership skills. When asked if they would recommend MYSTORY to others, the answer was a resounding yes:
The most memorable part for many was the bond built within the group:
“This programme built my confidence because I am a shy person. It made me feel safe and created our bond with the girls and mentors.”
The MYSTORY Employment Assistance Programme continues to equip young people with the tools, confidence, and opportunities to take their next steps in employment and education, while building resilience and leadership for the future.
