Finding the Right Path to Employment

Finding the Right Path to Employment Transcript.pdf

At 17, Connor Usher found himself uncertain about his future. After leaving college because it wasn’t the right fit, he spent months unsure of what to do next. Traditional options like the Job Centre didn’t feel like the right place for him, and he didn’t know there were other organisations that could help.

That changed when he found DurhamWorks. Through their support, Connor gained confidence, improved his communication skills, and found a clear path forward. With the guidance of his advisor, he secured a role as a Peer Mentor with Groundwork. Now, he’s not just in full-time employment—he’s helping others who are in the same position he once was.

DurhamWorks gave Connor the direction and support he needed, and now he’s doing the same for others.
