The wait is over for Owolabi!

The 41st Growing Talent programme has been the most interesting and challenging so far!

Some got roles and are on the Orientation and Holistic week currently, others have been going for meetings with different managers to identify the right fit.

The waiting game.

We all know how tough it is, waiting to hear results on anything – but especially whether we’ve secured that job or not is painful!

Owolabi was, until yesterday afternoon, waiting to hear and wondering if his life was about to change.

Now he knows it is.

Stable employment and a regular income enable unemployed people to start taking back control of their life, make their own choices and close their own social mobility gap.

This is even more important for those with challenging back experiences. A permanent job really does change lives.

A huge thank you to Matthew Izekor of Southwark Care Leavers who referred Owolabi to Growing Talent and supported him throughout the process.

Also a massive thank you and nod of respect to Gina and the team CIS Security Limited for joining us in doing things differently.

If you are looking to gain some amazing talent with hidden skills that will add value to your business in London – why not join us?

Next programme starts September 2025. Contact me for details.
