Harry D has just started an exciting new role as a Cycle Technician with The Cornwall Bicycle Project. With support from the Youth Engagement Programme (YEP), Harry has landed his dream job!
Wishing Harry all the best, he fully deserves this! - Jane (Key Worker)
Harry joined the YEP programme with a clear passion for bikes. His key worker saw Harry had an interest in bikes. So, she helped arrange a work experience placement with The Cornwall Bicycle Project. This gave Harry the chance to learn hands-on bike mechanics. He got to help recycle old bikes, and meet a wide range of customers.
The placement was a great fit for Harry. He gained confidence, developed new skills, and thrived in the busy environment. The team also made sure the role supported the individual needs outlined in his EHCP. They helped Harry to feel comfortable and included.
Thanks to his hard work and dedication, Harry was invited to apply for a Cycle Technician role - and he got the job! His journey shows how the right support and opportunities can make a big difference.
"Harry is so excited to start and has really settled in well at the bike project. This has given him a real confidence boost. " - mum
A huge thank you to The Cornwall Bicycle Project. Thank you for recognising Harry’s potential and giving him this chance to shine
We wish him the best of luck in this exciting new role.
