Michael's story

Michael goes to college part-time.

Michael wanted to work, but was not sure about the kind of job he wanted.

Michael went to a local jobs fair and was interested in applying for a job at the Odeon cinema.

We arranged for Michael to have an interview. Then he started his work placement as an usher.

Michael’s confidence and independence has grown each week.

Michael is now happy using the words that describe things in the cinema.

When he is not sure about something, Michael is happy to ask his workmates for advice.

Michael works hard. He also has good customer care skills.

The cinema was really pleased with Michael's work. They offered him a paid job.

Michael now travels by himself to work and home again.
