00:00:03.400 --> 00:00:07.400
Annmarie joined us last year.
I sat down with Annmarie

2
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:09.320
and we were looking through different jobs

3
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:13.680
and she was actually like. “I really fancy
going into a care home environment”.

4
00:00:13.680 --> 00:00:17.360
Then we got her in Pembroke
Haven. I think about six months ago.

5
00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:20.400
Annmarie has added amazing value

6
00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:22.880
to Pembroke Haven with our residents.

7
00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:24.680
all our residents know her name.

8
00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:28.760
She came with us on the programme to become a chef.

9
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.040
Her personal growth has been amazing.

10
00:00:31.040 --> 00:00:34.000
She was very quiet and shy
when she first started with us.

11
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.360
but since then. she's stepped out 
of her comfort zone.

12
00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:41.520
So what I normally do when I come in
I normally put my apron on and my hair net on.

13
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:45.200
I do like going round and
having a chat with the residents

14
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:46.960
and they love chatting with me.

15
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:52.480
When I started the programme. I was really nervous

16
00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:56.000
because I didn’t know anyone and
what I was supposed to be doing really.

17
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:01.680
The tutors kind of helped me. and now I just know what I’m doing. 

18
00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:05.320
You build skills that you didn't have before.

19
00:01:05.320 --> 00:01:08.840
As a company Pembroke
Haven have improved since

20
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:13.080
Jobs Growth Wales+ has come into our business.

21
00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:16.160
People have grown and become

22
00:01:16.160 --> 00:01:19.920
employed with us and it’s marvellous.
it’s a marvellous programme.

23
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:25.240
I would recommend it. because you build
skills that you didn’t have before.

24
00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:28.160
You’re able to get a job
by the end of the programme.

25
00:01:28.160 --> 00:01:32.200
I think when Annmarie first joined.
she was relatively shy.

26
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:37.880
unsettled in class environments and
since she’s gone out onto a placement. 

27
00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:40.480
her confidence has grown massively.

28
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.600
You know. she's more comfortable
with communicating.

29
00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:47.280
She's become more adaptable and flexible.

30
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.360
The Jobs Growth Wales+ programme

31
00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:53.360
caters to all learners.
regardless of their needs.

32
00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:56.280
It’s great for them to build confidence

33
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.920
to gain the tools
that they need to go into employment.

34
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:04.040
Annmarie has come so far

35
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:08.960
in all aspects. setting herself goals and.
targets. and watching her achieve those. 

36
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.120
it’s wonderful.
