Danny Pollock says…

“I was unemployed for two months and saw the opportunity for a fresh start in construction while walking past the Coventry Job Shop window.

The course was brilliant and I’m learning so much every day. I love the job and working in the team – we’re like a family. I hope to stay with the company until I retire.”

Kem Kehal says…

“Training with PET-Xi worked out brilliantly for me – I felt much more confident in myself and was able to put myself out there in job searching and interviews. All the courses helped me so much and were actually relevant to the role I’m in now. Without participating in these courses, learning new content and having the amazing support of the PET-Xi staff, I am not sure I would have been able to secure a post in such a short period of time. I’m really enjoying my new role at the council and I’m very grateful to the team at PET-Xi for their help.”
