Jordan gets the 'Fresh Start' that he needs

 
Jordan said: "If I hadn’t of come to Steps to Work, I know I would have been at risk of offending again. Being mixed with the wrong crowd, it’s easy to follow others and get in more trouble. This course has really helped me, it’s been fun and helped me stay on the straight and narrow”
 
Jordan from Wolverhampton, was given an Anti Social Behaviour Order (ASBO) at 16. He was placed on a curfew and banned from going to certain areas and owning certain items. Jordan was always intimidating local people and his offences included threatening local residents.

Jordan voluntarily enrolled on the Fresh-Start course at Steps to Work. Jordan was given the opportunity to talk to tutors and undertook a variety of activities such as literacy and numeracy, IT and group exercises such as interview techniques and drug awareness, all which helped him boost his self esteem and help bridge a gap between leaving school and starting college.

Steps to Work arranged an interview for Jordan at Wolverhampton College. Jordan was interested in taking NVQ Level 1 in Groundwork and Construction skills. “I enjoy work based learning and like working outdoors so this was the ideal course for me. I will be able to gave ago at different construction skills like block paving and painting and decorating.” Explained Jordan.

Jordan passed the interview and is looking forward having a fresh start at College.
