Newcastle UXL

I have had much support and help from the Newcastle UXL team. The team has helped me with my everyday life as well as helping me achieve my goals in life by looking for apprenticeships and jobs which I thought were the best choices for me. The benefits that I have found include: better time keeping, improved personal skills, improved people skills, being able to pass interviews and job questionnaires and how to be prepared for a job interview. Overall I have had a great experiance and have learnt a lot as well as moving on with my future.

“Newcastle UXL pulled out all the stops to ensure I got the right apprenticeship that I was looking for. I felt no pressure and was helped considerably by a diversity mentor who went that extra mile so I was able to get the best apprenticeship out there. I am coming to the end of my apprenticeship doing a advanced Business Administration Course and will be doing a NVQ Level 4 in Programming shortly after with the considerable help from Newcastle UXL”

ABC has a long standing excellent relationship with Newcastle UXL and their service levels and support are first class. Having had first-hand experience of the benefits an apprenticeship can bring to an organisation I was keen to take someone through this approach.I explained to NewcastleUXL and they delivered on our requirements.  The candidates were all exceptionally good and the decision to go with Margarida was hard.  However, Margarida had all of the skills and experience we were looking for, and additional ones that we weren’t, but are great to have.  Margarida has fitted into the organisation very well and is great addition to the team, who is about to embark on a Accountancy NVQ with the North East Chamber of Commerce.  We are now looking for another apprentice due to our continued growth and will once again look to work with NewcastleUXL to fill the vacancy.

“My name is Adheil Hussain and working with people from Newcastle UXL has been a pleasure, when I first talked to the people at newcastle UXL I felt very supported and they gave me help in an apprenticeship which I was interested in. They were kind, polite and I think they have helped me a lot. Now I have an apprenticeship with Newcastle City Council for joinery and I would not have got this without the help of the members of Newcastle UXL as they provided me the information and chances to get this apprenticeship and I could not have asked for anything else.”

“I would like to thank Newcastle UXL for their continued support. Before I knew about Newcastle UXL I was looking for a career change as I was in the catering industry for a long time, as it was the recession I was  finding it hard to land an ideal position, employers were just not taking people on. I applied many times but employers wouldn’t give me an interview. Then I met a person from Newcastle UXL and he told me about an apprenticeship in Health and Social Care and I grabbed this opportunity with both hands, although I have faced many challenges during my employment I have found a lot of personal satisfaction in this role due to the nature of the work as it is part of my religion and culture to adopt a caring personality, once again I would like to say I am grateful for the opportunity Newcastle UXL has given me.”
