"Deborah regularly delivers engaging sessions to our young people at The Kings Trust Lancaster and Morecambe, teaching them work ready skills which include creating a professional CV. The content is always informative and age appropriate and she gives practical examples to support their learning. Our young people always give positive feedback at the end of her sessions stating they feel more confident in job searching and understanding the importance of a good CV that is linked to job roles. We always look forward to Deborah delivering her sessions, she often includes a practical example of problem solving which our cohort of young people enjoy enormously."

"Near the end of my apprenticeship the organisation advertised a role I was really interested in. I approached Deborah again for help applying. She was so encouraging helping me navigate the tricky application and interview process. I was offered the job and know for sure I would not have been successful without her help."
